Stags Across Generations

Our legacy families consist of students and alumni whose family members attended or currently attend �Ӱ�ԭ��.

An essential and unique part of the fabric of our community, they bring not only a priceless chain of memories across time and context but the continuity of multi-generational contribution and involvement.

If you’re a member of a Legacy family, we want to hear from you - share your story below, and read about how you can be featured on our website or in �Ӱ�ԭ�� Magazine.

Gregory Family

“Not only are we family, but we share a bond through our love for and dedication to �Ӱ�ԭ�� University over three generations.”

Ronan Family

“I have a great sense of pride knowing that my son is carrying on the family tradition of a �Ӱ�ԭ�� University education. Whether it is attending the Legacy Brunch on Parents’ Weekend, going to a �Ӱ�ԭ�� Stags basketball game, or visiting the bookstore to pick up some new gear, each visit evokes great memories and stories that we share with each other.”

Mazzucco Caruso Family

“A �Ӱ�ԭ�� education assists students to develop into well rounded individuals who are able to stretch their intellectual curiosity while encouraging a deeper understanding of their place in society. As a result, �Ӱ�ԭ�� embodies the values that our family believes in and fosters creativity and moral responsibility. Although the campus has changed dramatically over our family's three generations, these values have remained the same.”

Conroy Family

“The Jesuit ideal of being men and women for others is something that we try to live up to the best that we can. We feel very fortunate for all the opportunities that were given to us throughout our lives and it’s important for us to give back in any way that we can.”
