Hall Homecoming & Family Weekend starts tomorrow, and we’d love to see you and your family back at The Hall!

Bring everyone along October 2-4 for a weekend filled with Seton Hall traditions, time together and plenty to experience across campus.

View the full schedule and register above.

The countdown to tipoff is on.

A new season of Seton Hall basketball is almost here, and so are more ways to be part of the action. Get ready for Home of the Hall pregames, Pirate Pep Rally, National Game Watch, and plenty of opportunities to cheer on the Pirates with fellow alumni.

 Stay tuned for details as we get closer to game day!

Assunta F. Marino, MBA, CPCU ’95 has volunteered with Seton Hall since 2005, representing the University at college fairs, supporting admissions events and writing postcards to prospective and admitted students. She also attends College of Arts and Sciences events and served on last year’s Alumni Golf Outing Committee to support first-generation students.

Her favorite moments? Connecting with future Creative Writing and English majors and their families, helping students make the jump from high school to college and from college to their careers.

For many of Seton Hall’s most promising students, the biggest obstacle to a degree isn’t ambition or ability; it’s opportunity. RISE (Resilience, Integrity, Scholarship, and Excellence) serves more than 140 low-income, first-generation students and students with disabilities, built on a simple idea: every student deserves the chance to finish what they started.

RISE supports each scholar throughout their time at Seton Hall, providing academic, financial, career and personal guidance. That support is paying off: RISE scholarship recipients graduate at a rate of more than 90 percent.

Your gift can help RISE continue changing the trajectory of students’ lives, one degree at a time.

Seton Hall admissions are going strong, thanks to our volunteers!

Help us keep new Pirates coming to Seton Hall! This fall, we need volunteers to welcome families at open houses, write postcards to admitted students, and host regional events in their area.

Not sure where to start? Simply spreading the word about Seton Hall makes a difference too. Every conversation helps!

For a limited time, donors who document new planned gifts will generate an immediate cash match. Thanks to a generous group of alumni and friends, Seton Hall will receive a 10% match (up to $10,000) of your commitment to benefit the RISE Scholarship Fund. While the matching funds are available, your planned gift may make a difference for students today, while also creating a lasting legacy for the future.

Look who's joined! - Mary Meehan

"Catholic colleges prepare you for life, not just for a job. I’m excited about the future and know well the need for resources to continue to serve future generations."

"It’s about legacy, not wealth. Every gift matters, no matter the size."
- Mary J. Meehan '72/M.A.E. '74/Ph.D. '01
