Snapshots from the Month

Students at the Fall Career Fair

We welcomed over 100 employers to the Fall Career Fair and our students were out in force! We had a great time watching our Phamily network and connect with potential employers at the event.

Students at the Fall Club Fair

With over 100 clubs on campus, the Fall Club Fair had something for everyone.

Kris Balderson and Ann Ryan

We welcomed Kris Balderston ’77 home to The Heights for the Carroll College of Arts and Sciences Distinguished Alumni Lecture, From Le Moyne to the White House and Beyond: A Liberal Arts Journey Through Politics, Business, and Diplomacy. He joined Professor Ann Ryan ’85, Ph.D., for a conversation about the experiences that shaped his career across government, diplomacy, business and entrepreneurship.

Fr. Don Kirby, County Executive Ryan McMahon, President Linda LeMura, and Syracuse Mayor Sharon Owens

An honorary street sign recognizing President Linda LeMura was unveiled September 16 near campus at the intersection of Salt Springs and Springfield roads. Syracuse Mayor Sharon Owens and Onondaga County Executive Ryan McMahon joined the celebration, which included a proclamation naming September 16 Dr. Linda LeMura Recognition Day.

Raamdeo Agrawal

The Le Moyne community welcomed Raamdeo Agrawal, chairman and co-founder of Motilal Oswal Financial Services Ltd., one of India’s leading investment firms for the Fall Madden Lecture. Agrawal shared insights from his remarkable career, his approach to investing and the forces shaping global finance, while encouraging the next generation to think about both building wealth and using it to make a difference.

Mass of the Holy Spirit

For generations, the Jesuit tradition of the Mass of the Holy Spirit has marked the start of a new academic year at Le Moyne. It’s the perfect reminder that, no matter how busy the first week of classes feels, we begin together: grounded in community, faith, and the support that’s connected our Phamily across the years.
