Letter from the Vice President

Welcome to the Advancement website. The Offices of the Capital Campaign, Development, Alumni Relations, Corporate, Foundation and Government Relations, and College Communications all operate under the direction of the Advancement Division, because we all have one goal: to support the College’s mission of providing a superior Catholic education.

Over the past several years, Iona has experienced significant growth and expansion made possible through our successful Vision into Reality campaign. This expansion has enabled the College to attract a more diverse student body than ever before and has enriched campus life.

The truth is, we couldn’t have made the strides we have without your help, and we will continue to need your help to continue to reach our goals. Your gift—of any size—will help Iona attain its ultimate potential.

Fortunately, there are diverse options for giving to Iona. You may immediately impact the current academic year by giving to the Annual Fund, or you can help expand and refurbish our main library by donating to Visions of Excellence: A Campaign for Iona’s Library. Some donors have chosen to fund scholarships, while others elect one of many planned giving options.

Sir Winston Churchill said, “we make a living by what we get; we make a life by what we give.” In higher education, his statement is all the more significant.

Thank you for taking the time to visit this website. Please feel free to contact us with your questions or comments.

Sincerely,

Rich Petriccione ’81, ’95MS
Vice President for Advancement & External Affairs
