Dear McMullen Graduate,

 

Happy New Year! I am happy to send you greetings from Calvert Hall in our first McMullen Scholars Newsletter. It is a great way to communicate with our McMullen graduates to keep you informed of what is happening now at The Hall and to share what our alumni are doing. I am in my fourth year now as President and continue to marvel at the work of our McMullen Scholars. I know Lou Miserendino, the McMullen Director, shares some of the current capstone projects our juniors and seniors are working on. They are truly amazing. As when you attended, these young men are engaging in projects that are college level and often graduate level work.

 

The McMullen Program is truly an honors program. Many schools claim such programs but only require students take a certain number of honors or AP classes. Here at Calvert Hall, we expect our scholars to do much more both in the classroom and outside of it. We have service requirements, trips, speakers and discussions. The capstone project is the culmination of four years of work that emphasizes research, creativity and passion for a specific subject.  The McMullen Scholars Program is truly modeled on a college level honors program.

 

We are proud of our current McMullen Scholars as well as our graduates. You all have accomplished much in so many different professions, in life and in service to the community. I encourage you to keep in touch with Calvert Hall and the McMullen Program. There are many ways you can support our efforts.  If you have not been back to Calvert Hall in a while, I encourage you to visit. Many things have changed physically but at its heart, Calvert Hall remains the same excellent college prep school committed to the Lasallian values of faith, community and service. Thank you for your support.

 

Sincerely,

 

Brother John Kane, FSC, Ed.D.

President
