Favorite memory from Santa Clara 

  • I have many favorite memories from Santa Clara. My first memory is arriving at San Jose Airport from Hawaii for the first time in September 1984. The only images of the University of Santa Clara (what Santa Clara University was called back then) was from a paper brochure. Seeing the University for the first time as the welcome van dropped my luggage and me in front of Swig is a memory that I will never forget. I have lifelong friends, memories and experiences from Santa Clara University which helped shape me into who I am today.
