t is my great pleasure to share
with you that U.S. News & World
Report has once again selected
St. Francis College as a Best Regional
College in the North. In addition,
U.S. News ranks SFC as the 4th most
diverse Regional College in the
North. This good news is seconded
by Forbes.com, which for the fourth
year in a row has named St. Francis
College to its America’s Best Colleges
Denis J. Salamone ’75
list. This is a ringing endorsement of
the College’s mission and of SFC’s ability to transform lives through
the gift of a Franciscan education.
These stellar results bear witness to the generosity, faith and loyalty
of our alumni and friends, whose generous support despite economic
uncertainty helped to make this 2010-2011 fiscal year a tremendous
one for SFC. We attracted a record number of applicants for our
freshman class and now have over 2,500 full time students. On behalf
of the College’s Board of Trustees, administration, faculty, staff and
the students whom we serve, please accept our heartfelt thanks.
And in 2011-2012 we believe that our U.S. News and Forbes.com
rankings will advance even further because of your ongoing dedication to making a difference in the lives of young women and men.
