Hello from campus!

In the midst of our largest capital campaigns, we are deeply humbled by the more than $175 million that has been committed in support of our mission.  Our Place in the World at Saint Benedict and One Generation to the Next at Saint John's seek to raise $230 million to invest in students, faculty, staff, programs and facilities.

The outpouring of philanthropic support will strengthen our mission to prepare young men and women for full and meaningful lives of leadership and service.  To learn more about the campaigns, please visit our Web site.
