As we celebrate the remarkable milestone of 60 years of annual giving at St. Stephen’s, I am filled with a profound sense of gratitude and pride. This journey of generosity and support has been a testament to the unwavering commitment of our incredible community.
Over the past six decades, philanthropy has played an instrumental role in shaping the trajectory of our School. The collective commitment to annual giving has empowered us to nurture faculty talent, foster academic innovation, and create an environment that enables our students to reach for the stars.
As we reflect on the impact of this incredible generosity, we see the tangible results in the lives of students whose educational dreams were made possible through the establishment of the Alumni Legacy and Pope-Ullman scholarships and whose academic and extracurricular experiences were enriched because of donor-funded, cutting-edge programs such as The Pope Lyceum, The Gage Molecular Biology Program, and The Aventinus Minor Project.
Philanthropy has created and fostered a vibrant campus community that continues to thrive. Each dollar and euro contributed has been an investment in the future, a vote of confidence in the transformative power of education, and a demonstration of the enduring bond that ties us together as members of the St. Stephen’s family.
Our anniversary is not only a celebration of the years gone by but also a moment to look ahead with optimism and ambition. The landscape of education is ever-evolving, and your ongoing support will be crucial in navigating the challenges and seizing the opportunities that lie ahead. As we embark on the next chapter of our journey, we look forward to continuing this profound philanthropic partnership that will shape the future of St. Stephen’s.
To mark this special occasion, we look forward to gathering together on campus in June to honor the legacy of the past and inspire the generosity of the future. We hope you will take part in these celebrations and consider how you can contribute to the continued success of our School.
Thank you for being an integral part of the St. Stephen’s story. Your dedication, passion, and commitment to the values of our institution—Mens, Voluntas, Gratia—have been the driving force behind 60 years of annual giving success. Here's to the memories we cherish, the achievements we celebrate, and the future we build together.
With heartfelt gratitude,
Allison Kemmis-Price
