About
What We Do
The work of University Advancement is simple: to move Saint Joseph’s University’s excellence forward by enriching its future. We do this by establishing and deepening relationships with our alumni and friends, developing a culture of engagement and philanthropy among our supporters, and securing financial support for the University. Our Alumni Relations team remains connected with our alumni, offering networking and continuing education opportunities and a number of services that benefit Hawks long after graduation. Our Advancement teams work with our prospective and current donors, as well as foundations and corporations, to identify funding opportunities that support financial aid and scholarships for our students, new or enhanced academic and athletic programming and critical capital projects.
"Hawk Hill has been a special place for me since the very first day that I stepped on campus over 20 years ago. I feel the responsibility to give back and contribute to SJU in order to assist future generations of Hawks in the same way that prior generations of Hawk leaders have helped lay the foundation for my success!"
