Dialogue with President Beth Paul

Dear Nazareth community, I am so energized and inspired after enjoying another extraordinary Naz Weekend. It was spectacular! From our Centennial kick-off Friday morning to last night’s Yom Kippur pre-fast dinner and services, every event was unique and celebrated one of the many facets that make Nazareth University and our community remarkable. This past weekend’s celebration was an opportunity to showcase the best of all that is Nazareth — the strength and beauty of our community shined! Our alumni, families, and community members who do not have the opportunity to experience Nazareth day-to-day were able to see what a special place this is. I’m so grateful for every person on this campus who makes Nazareth such a warm, welcoming, and impactful place to be. Enjoying this weekend with so many of you and your families and friends was incredible. From the beautiful grounds to the elaborate setups to the engaging events, thank you to everyone who had a hand in planning and making this be

Today marks the 22nd anniversary of the tragedy that struck our nation at 8:46 a.m. on September 11, 2001. Please join me in reflecting on this National Day of Service and Remembrance to honor and commemorate the sacrifices made by countless individuals. We come together on this day each year in unity and service to change the narrative of the 9/11 tragedy. Today, and every day, we need to put aside our differences to serve our communities with the same humanity we showed each other more than two decades ago. Such reflection allows each of us, in our own way, to appreciate the historical and societal importance of 9/11. Nazareth University is committed to never forgetting 9/11. This was evident today when students from Military and Veteran Services rang the Golisano Academic Center bells at the precise times each plane was lost, and when each tower fell. Please take a moment to pause today in remembrance of the nearly 3,000 individuals who perished that day. Sincerely, Beth Dr. Beth P
