Dear Bearcats:
May is already here and there have been many exciting things happening on campus. We are always excited at this time of year as we welcome the graduating seniors into our Bearcat alumni family. Another exciting thing on campus relates to our marketing and communications department developing and implementing a new athletics logo for Saint Vincent College. This e-newsletter has more information about the new logo!
As you probably know by now, our regular monthly lunches are held on the second Friday (on campus) and third Tuesday (at Giannilli's II in Greensburg, Pennsylvania). Both lunches provide us the opportunity to connect with alumni as well as to have great food.
If you are a Graduate of the Last Decade (GOLD), please make plans to join us at Las Velas Mexican Restaurant for a Bearcat Happy Hour on Wednesday, May 20, from 5 to 7 p.m.
Toward the end of May, I plan to visit some of our out-of-state Bearcats. On Wednesday, May 27, we plan to be at Fox & Hound in King of Prussia from 5-7 p.m. for our Philadelphia area Bearcats and the following night, you will find SVC alumni gathering at Players Bar and Grill in Woodstock, Maryland, from 5-7 p.m. for our Baltimore area Bearcats.
To register for any of these events, contact the Alumni Office by phone (724-805-2568) or by e-mail. If you have any questions about these or any other alumni happenings, please let me know.
Go Bearcats!
Mike Gerdich, C'98
