Make your gift in honor of Stonehill's 75th anniversary to ensure our vision for the next 75 years and beyond.
In September 1948, some 134 students — many of whom were veterans from World War II — gathered with the eight teachers who would serve as their faculty to celebrate Mass at the Chapel in Donahue Hall.
That small gathering of students and teachers marked the beginning of Stonehill College.
Our 75th anniversary provides the College a unique opportunity to honor its exceptional past, celebrate its present and build its promising future.
Stonehill would not have been possible without the involvement and generosity of our alumni, parents, faculty, staff, students and friends.
The Stonehill College Fund creates readily available funds that provide our students with academic offerings, scholarships, faculty excellence, community service opportunities, co-curricular programs and top-notch campus facilities — all the areas of the College that make a Stonehill education exceptional.
Annual engagement and support of the extended Stonehill community — alumni, parents, faculty, staff, students and friends — have strengthened the College and fostered its greatest advancements.
The success of the Stonehill College Fund — and the strength of the College — will always depend on a collaborative spirit of giving. Each of us has our own Stonehill story, and there are many inspiring reasons to support Stonehill through the Stonehill College Fund.
I have such fond memories of my time at Stonehill and am so grateful for the education and experiences that I had. My time at Stonehill strengthened my Catholic faith and encouraged my desire to serve others. My involvement in service projects while on campus led to my current career of serving others, especially those who are most vulnerable.
Individual generosity helped create this great College, and our dedicated alumni have continued to support Stonehill through annual giving. This crucial support at all levels helps to sustain Stonehill's pursuit of its mission and transnational educational experience.
These committed donors recognize that annual gifts serve as the foundation for Stonehill's growth. Membership comprises of alumni who have made gifts to the College for at least four out of six consistent years and GOLD Alumni (Graduates Of the Last Decade) who have contributed for three out of six consistent years with gifts of any amount to any designated area at Stonehill.
Participation in the 1948 Loyalty Society signifies being part of a special community of donors dedicated to shaping the future of Stonehill. It's a community making a difference in every area of the College — from academics, mission, scholarships and co-curricular activities.
Your generosity helps perpetuate a virtuous cycle — by giving back to the College, you enable us to benefit society and educate current and future students. It is our hope that these students will someday join you as esteemed members of the 1948 Loyalty Society.
Thank you for your support of Stonehill in honor and in celebration of our 75th anniversary — you make a difference!
