Dear Alumni, Parents and Friends,

In a year in which no one will ever forget, I am most proud of our community who went above and beyond for our students. After an uncertain start to the 2020–2021 school year, we successfully completed the year with students on campus amid many COVID-19 restrictions, constant testing, and plenty of patience. It was a challenging year, but in true Stonehill spirit, we aspired and persevered. 

It is because of your steadfast support that we were able to modify the campus to keep the community safe while continuing to provide top-notch education, increase financial aid, and support our faculty. 

Stonehill continues to ascend, thanks to the support of alumni, parents, and friends. Educating minds and hearts is a bold undertaking—one that requires constant rededication to our mission. In May, we launched the public phase of our $75 million comprehensive campaign To Be Bold: The Campaign for Stonehill College. I welcome this inspiring undertaking that calls on our community to play an essential role. I invite you to learn more about the campaign, tobebold.stonehill.edu

I am grateful for your partnership and for your generosity. Together, we have a great deal to be proud of, and I look forward to the opportunities that lie ahead. 

In Holy Cross,

Dear Alumni, Parents, and Friends,

You make a Stonehill education possible. Your annual gifts provide a wealth of resources to Stonehill students. 

Stonehill maintains its high standards of excellence in large part because of your extraordinary generosity and that of the many individuals and organizations noted in this Annual Report of Giving. 

In an academic year that began in the most extraordinary of circumstances, you helped Stonehill make bold things happen. Our Annual Report of Giving celebrates you and others who collectively contributed over $8.1 million to our College during fiscal year 2020–2021. 

We are most grateful to you for your gifts and volunteer efforts which enable our College to thrive.

Best personal regards,
