Let’s I E ach period of rebirth is marked by contributions to the artistic world. Seton Hall displays this in various cultural programs.

S eton Hall, a diocesan institution, remains very close to its religious center in the neighboring town of Newark. It was Bishop Bayley, first Bishop of Newark, who began the school and named it after his Aunt, Mother Elizabeth Ann Seton. The bishops who followed continued to monitor the growth of the University. It was more than a college — it was their alma mater. It is for this reason that Seton Hall was the center of activity when Archbishop Theodore E. McCarrick became the father of the diocese community. With his installation as Archbishop, there came a new commitment to Seton Hall and we once again celebrate the traditions of the past. Spiritual growth is not the only way Seton Hall has expanded. The history of the University is marked with several periods of construction. These projects were launched in order to keep Seton Hall in step with the times. As the student population grew so did the structures on campus. Today s construction reflects the expansion of Seton Hall beyond the New Jersey borders as more students come from out of state. We celebrate the opening of our new residence hall; it is a symbol of continuity. A school ' s reputation is based on the level of education the students receive and their ability to translate those experiences into the practical world.

The various programs at Seton Hall share many top honors. These programs reflect the fine academic tradition of excellence the University maintains. It is the commitment to these programs, in addition to the basics, that allow us to celebrate the educational experience of Seton Hall University. Traditions, ideals, and educational philosophy are just words until the student adds life to these values. For many years Seton Hall has realized that its greatest asset is the students themselves. The student body of the University is very unique. The number of different activities at Seton Hall is as vast as the reason students become involved. Participation in these organizations instill a sense of responsibility and leadership in the members. We celebrate these characteristics. It is only through University support and recognition that Seton Hall can ensure student involvement and thus preserve its greatest natural resource.
