Seton Hall University celebrated its 169th Baccalaureate Commencement on May 19 at the Prudential Center, conferring degrees on 2,201 students, including the first cohorts of the RISE and Interprofessional Health Sciences programs. Outgoing Provost Katia Passerini, Ph.D., delivered the keynote address, urging graduates to lead with compassion, service, and faith as they face a world shaped by rapid technological change. Monsignor Joseph Reilly charged graduates to live lives of service and purpose, reminding them that true leadership is rooted in sacrifice and integrity. Alumni Board President Paul Tyahla welcomed the Class of 2025 into the 100,000+ strong Pirate alumni family, encouraging them to carry Seton Hall's values into every chapter ahead.

In March 2025, Seton Hall’s Pirate Battalion completed its 2nd Annual Vietnam Staff Ride, visiting historic sites like Hanoi, Hue, and My Lai to study leadership and tactics from the Vietnam War. This unique, immersive experience deepened Cadets' understanding of military history and honored the sacrifices of veterans, including Seton Hall alumni. The trip was made possible by the generous support of the Gibson family, and future plans include bringing Vietnam veteran alumni along to share their lived experiences. Alumni are invited to support and engage with the program as it expands this unique and impactful tradition.

45 years after graduating, a group of WSOU alumni reunited for a weeklong stay in a Tuscan villa, won at the station's 75th Anniversary Dinner. Together, they explored Rome, Florence, Siena, and Cortona—sharing memories, meals, and laughter. Highlights included cooking classes with a local chef, wine tastings, and a surprise karaoke performance that brought nostalgic fun to the villa.

The group originally met at WSOU between 1976–1980 and stayed connected through decades of life’s milestones. Mark Cataldo credited WSOU with inspiring his 43-year career in public television, while Denise Coyle Hajjar, Gail Casale DeLuca, and Suzanne Haluka Getz reflected on their creative freedom and lasting friendships.

Also in attendance were Trish (Stewart) Ferretti, Lynn (Cadden) Breitner, MaryAnn (Clarke) Alvino, and Jimmy Ward—each contributing to the joyful reunion. For all, the trip was a celebration of enduring Pirate bonds and the lifelong impact of their Seton Hall experience.
