PRESIDENT’S REPORT 2020 1
MESSAGE
FROM THE
PRESIDENT
Peace and good!
On-campus life, face-to-face learning, and our strategic
plan Francis 2020, all came to an abrupt and involuntary halt
on Friday, March 13, 2020. Our faculty and staff pivoted
on a moment’s notice to transition to virtual learning. Our
students’ transformational experiences continued in the spring
2020 semester, albeit in a much different fashion.
Through the darkest days of the pandemic, I was touched
by the generosity of our alumni. The Student and Community
Emergency Fund was established and funded to the tune of
$65,318 within two months. Grants were awarded to current
students to help with unexpected expenses and hardship due
to the pandemic and to community members served by the
Dorothy Day Outreach Center.
One could say the Feast of the Resurrection took place
on June 1, 2020: our campus returned to life. On that day, lion in commitments for Phase 2 and we are grateful for the

Grateful Students
Many shared their notes of gratitude and below are a few highlights.
“This obviously isn’t how the Class of
2020 expected to end our final semester
at SFU. Something that has helped
us through it is the support of the
SFU community including the Alumni
Association. … You’ve given us a great
example of what it means to be part of the
SFU Alumni family and I’m excited to join!
— Emily Graziano
“The Student Emergency Fund gave me
funding to purchase my textbooks for the
next semester after I lost my job due to the
virus. Without these funds I would have
been put into a position of deciding which
textbooks were most important to purchase
or having to take out larger loans to
purchase textbooks.”
