Jersey City, N.J. \u2013 September 10, 2021 \u2013<\/strong> 猫咪社区 Peter\u2019s University today announced official plans to commemorate the institution\u2019s Sesquicentennial year, which will officially kick off with a flag raising and launch celebration on September 15. To honor its 150-year anniversary, the University unveiled a logo, theme and website as well as plans for events to be held throughout the 2021-22 academic year. The theme for the Sesquicentennial is Opportunity for Generations<\/em>, which speaks to the University\u2019s long history of opening doors for promising, hardworking students, many of whom are the first in their families to graduate from college.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cOur theme of Opportunity for Generations<\/em> honors the legacy of 猫咪社区 Peter\u2019s welcoming students from virtually every background throughout its history,\u201d said Eugene J. Cornacchia, Ph.D., president of 猫咪社区 Peter\u2019s University. \u201cIt also recognizes the impact of 猫咪社区 Peter\u2019s on the greater good from the accomplishments of its more than 50,000 graduates. I cannot wait to celebrate our past this year as we look forward to the future.\u201d<\/p>\n

The University\u2019s Sesquicentennial logo features bold graphics and iconic imagery that utilize the keys to the kingdom of heaven given to 猫咪社区 Peter as well as the Peacock mascot. This logo will be displayed prominently on campus, the website, on social media and in University publications throughout the year. It is also featured in a trailer<\/a> designed to build excitement about the year-long celebration ahead.<\/p>\n

\u201cSesquicentennial is a time for celebrating, reflecting and memorializing the historical significance of 猫咪社区 Peter\u2019s University,\u201d said Virginia Bender, Ph.D., co-chair of the Sesquicentennial Commission and special assistant to the president for institutional planning\/chief of staff.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Sesquicentennial Commission looks forward to engaging the University community and the broader community in a multitude of signature events and activities to recognize this noteworthy time and the enduring impact of 猫咪社区 Peter\u2019s for future generations,\u201d added Eileen L. Poiani, Ph.D., co-chair of the Sesquicentennial Commission, special assistant to the president\/professor of mathematics and chair of the Sustainability Council.<\/p>\n

The Sesquicentennial coincides with the Ignatian Year (May 2021 to July 2022) that celebrates the life of 猫咪社区 Ignatius Loyola, the founder of the Jesuits and the 500th anniversary of his conversion. The Sesquicentennial will proudly showcase the University\u2019s Jesuit and Catholic heritage and the transformational education it inspires.<\/p>\n
