Post May 1 Madness!

Hello again everyone!  I hope that you are all doing very well and that the weather is as lovely by you as it has been in Connecticut the past few days.  It has been a very busy week, both for me personally and for the University.  The last time I wrote to you I was headed for Scranton, PA.  I actually have to send a big shout out to Chris from Wyoming Seminary who is up to date with his SHU Athletics and knew about the big win the lacrosse team had over Delaware that weekend.  On Tuesday I went to Holy Ghost Prep in Bensalem, PA speaking to the juniors from Holy Ghost and Villa Joseph Marie High School.  From there I headed down to the PACAC Main Line college fair at Villanova University in Philadelphia, PA.  It was a great fair and I met some very promising students. 

After a brief trip to Pennsylvania, I headed north to Edison, New Jersey for a two day state wide fair sponsored by NJACAC at the New Jersey Convention and Exposition Center.  Melissa Mezzina and myself were fortunate enough to meet with over 200 families throughout the fair and it was very well attended.  The hospitality for the fair was excellent as well!  I should also apologize to our families from Irvington HS in New York.  I missed you at this year's fair but I promise to visit in the fall and meet with all of you.

Overall it was a great week of fairs. Also, CONGRATULATIONS to Sacred Heart University's Class of 2012.  We are in the process of closing our enrollment for the Fall 2008 semester and we are thrilled to have you join our SHU family..  I know the college selection process is difficult, and congratulations for completing it and beginning your college journey as a Sacred Heart University Pioneer.  I have no doubt it will be a rewarding experience for each and everyone of you.

This week has been off to another fast paced week.  On Monday morning, I attended a Middle School fair along with Big Red, SHU's lovable mascot.  Big thank you's to him for accompanying me to the fair.  Last night and this morning I met some great students from all throughout Westchester County, New York and I look forward to meeting some more students at Fox Lane High School tonight.  If you around, stop by and say hello, I will also be speaking on a panel about competitive colleges at the fair tonight.  Tomorrow, I am headed to the East End of Long Island for our East End College Fair and welcome anyone from that area of Long Island to say hello.

Well, I have to run as I am heading back to Westchester County for tonight's college fair.  Take care and if you ever have questions, please don't hesitate to contact me or make comments on my blog.  Also, if you are looking to check out some really cool pictures from our students, check out this link: http://www.sacredheart.edu/pages/19019_shu_people_photo_gallery.cfm
