President’s Dinner to Celebrate Building of Stonehill

May 24, 2011

The 51th annual President's Dinner and Reception at Stonehill College will be held on Thursday, June 2 at the Sally Blair Ames Sports Complex.

Approximately 700 neighbors, friends and alumni are expected to attend this year's dinner, which will have as its theme Building Stonehill, a retrospective look at how the College has grown, building by building.

President Mark T. Cregan, C.S.C. '78, honorary chairman of the event, will make a surprise presentation of the President's Award for Excellence.

One of Stonehill's highest honors, the award is presented to individuals and organizations that have made unique and outstanding contributions to public life, business, and to the arts and sciences.

Since 1960, the President's Dinner has honored educational service, community leadership and local partnerships.

"This year's event will be an eloquent celebration of what we have built together since the College opened in 1948," says President Cregan. "During that time, our friends and neighbors have stood by us, supported us and encouraged us."

This year's dinner will begin with a reception at 6:00 p.m., followed by dinner at 7:30 p.m.
