Alums learn more about the campaign at "Coffee and Conversations with President Denning and Coaches."
As part of Reunion 2026, alumni, families and friends gathered for a special Built to Rise event—Coffee and Conversations with President John Denning, C.S.C., and Stonehill Coaches. The session offered an engaging opportunity for the Stonehill community to connect over their shared interest in Skyhawk athletics and the College’s bold vision for the future.
President John Denning, C.S.C., was joined by head coaches Eli Gardner (football), Lee J. Mirasolo (women's ice hockey), and Trish Brown (women's basketball), along with Dean O’Keefe ’94, director of athletics, and Zachary Aben ’28, men's ice hockey player and assistant captain. Each panelist offered perspective on the impact of athletics at Stonehill. Together, they reflected on the momentum behind the Built to Rise campaign and the transformative power of investing in the College's teams, students and programs.
