To cap off an exciting week of Inaugural events, President Joseph Lee hosted the annual President’s Society Dinner on October 25 at the Portland Museum of Art. Friends of the College gathered in the museum to mingle, celebrate and be recognized for their financial contributions to Saint Joseph’s. President Lee thanked those in attendance “who have given so generously of your time and talents and because you also give of your treasure.” He went on to share, “I believe that the College is in the strongest position it has enjoyed in its history – in enrollment, financially, strength of faculty, quality of facilities, and many other ways. That is a solid platform from which to launch the next chapter in our quest for excellence.” President Lee then introduced Chairman of the Board of Trustees, Mike Shea ’72, who shared his enthusiasm for the next phase in the life of Saint Joseph’s and the Trustee’s support for Dr. Lee and his vision.
