Connecticut Alumni Support Red Storm

Members of the Central Connecticut Alumni Chapter attended the St. John’s University men’s basketball game against the University of Connecticut in Storrs, CT on January 8, 2008.  Alumni also gathered prior to the game for an intimate reception at the Nathan Hale Inn on the University of Connecticut campus.

University representatives, William Schaeffer ’73CBA, director of alumni relations, Brian Colleary, senior associate athletic director/external affairs, and Rev. Kevin Creagh, C.M. ’91SVC, ’04PD, assistant vice president, branch campuses and assistant to the vice president, institutional advancement, were in attendance to welcome alumni and share University news including student population growth, new building projects and upcoming alumni events. 

The group was in good spirits and enjoyed the “family” atmosphere of the reception and game.  “It was great to meet old acquaintances and reminisce about the old days at St. John’s,” shared Nat Calamis ’72SVC, who traveled from Rhode Island to attend the reception and game.  “I love to see St. John’s alumni maintaining their relationship with the University,” commented Schaeffer, “especially by attending a reception and great game with a long-time rival!”
