Warm Hearts and Well Wishes

As the holidays approach, we wish our Bronco family peace and joy. May the days ahead be filled with light and love. As we reflect on this season of renewal, we are inspired by the words of University Chancellor Emeritus William Rewak, S.J., in his Christmas poem, “In Bethlehem.”

We join the University community in mourning the loss of Mario Belotti, Professor Emeritus of Economics. For more than 60 years, Professor Belotti shared his considerable expertise with our students and the local business community.
