I graduated from O'Connell several decades ago. As a result, although I was no top of the line scholar, I entered undergraduate school with a better, clearer and more complete understanding of everything from Literature (wonderful at O'Connell) to math and science. The school helped form my life. Over the years I've taught in several universities, in graduate and undergraduate school, written seven books and hundreds of articles, and held substantial positions in industry and government. The foundation of all that was O'Connell. I owe the school my life and career. May it prosper and grow.
