We are pleased to announce that DeSales University received a gift of $408,000 from Mrs. Rita M. Donahue, a long-time supporter of the University. She and her late husband, Joseph, initiated the Reverend Thomas J.

We are delighted that Father James Greenfield, President Elect of DeSales University, will be present to serve as the main celebrant.

All administrative, professional, and support staff members are invited to join us as we welcome the Class of 2021 and their families. Since this is an academic procession, administrative and professional staff personnel who wish to process with the faculty should wear academic attire. Vesting and formation of the procession will begin at 2:30 p.m. in the women’s visitors’ locker room next to the Billera Hall classroom.
