"The Mount is known for its amazing
Education program and, with its location so near to
Manhattan, Broadway is just a train ride away. It is
because of you that I have the opportunity to fulfill
my dreams and for that I will forever be grateful.
You will never know how much your generosity means to
me. Thank you for everything."

SPOTLIGHT: New Athletic Center Poised to Make
Changes at the College of Mount Saint
Vincent
The Peter J. Sharp Athletic and
Recreation Center is on its way to becoming the newest
addition at the College of Mount Saint Vincent. With the
growing interest in athletics at the Mount, it became
clear that the facilities would not be enough to house
all sports. Through Edmund Duffy, a Trustee, the
Peter J. Sharp foundation granted $1.75 millions dollars
to the Mount in 2006 for the renovation and expansion of
the athletic facilities. Improvements are planned
including the renovation of existing Cardinal Hayes
Auditorium, plus the addition of approximately 4,500
square feet. Additional funds were donated by private
foundations, alumni, friends, and other donors to ensure
the center would be built.
