University Impact Piece

A Message from the President

Dear friends,

It is with the utmost pride that I reflect upon a year of remarkable progress, one that perpetuates the legacy and values set forth by the Sisters of St. Joseph.

This year, we achieved unprecedented fundraising success, raising $5.6 million through the exceptional generosity of our SJNY community and supporters—a level of giving that exceeded anything we’ve seen in the past decade.

Our annual Impact Report is a reflection of SJNY’s accomplishments, all made possible by the unwavering commitment of its students, staff, faculty and alumni. Together, the St. Joseph’s community has remained steadfast in honoring our core values: spiritual depth, integrity, intellectual rigor, service and social responsibility.

One of the most significant milestones is the extraordinary progress we’ve made toward our $25 million Comprehensive Campaign goal. Today, we have raised over $14 million. These contributions touch all
corners of the University, from student life and athletics to academics and scholarships.

We are looking forward to continuing our future progress with your support. Your heartfelt actions and deep generosity directly impact the people and places that make St. Joseph’s a transformational university.

While our journey is ongoing, your contributions have aided in paving a successful path for future generations to follow. With your continued support, we will carry this momentum forward to serve students, strengthen our mission and create lasting impact for years to come.

With gratitude,


Donald R. Boomgaarden, Ph.D.
President, St. Joseph’s University, New York
