CEO in the City

The Leavey School of Business is renowned for cultivating leaders, but how many of them can claim to be the CEO of a city? At least one! Jennifer Maguire ’86, MBA ’94 serves as the city manager of the 13th-largest city in the U.S.—San Jose, CA.

Spreading His Wings

Step aside, Wright brothers! Some aviation historians would argue that John Joseph Montgomery, Ph.D. 1901 is the one who deserves the title “father of flight.” But did you know that this Sutter County native also served as a professor of engineering at Santa Clara College while experimenting with his gliders?

Leading the Way

A Jesuit education can change the world! For the fifth consecutive session, graduates from Jesuit colleges and universities make up 10% of the U.S. Congress. And two of them are Broncos: Jimmy Panetta, J.D. ’96, and Zoe Lofgren, J.D. ’75 each of whom represents a district of California.
