Arrupe Alumni Figure Prominently in Lead the Way Effort

From day one 20 years ago, Arrupe’s guiding light has always been ‘it’s about the kids.’ This credos applies in multiple ways in the Lead the Way capital campaign. “All aspects of this capital campaign center around improving the student experience,” explains President O’Hagan. In addition, alumni and current students provide their unique perspective for our donors. Jackie Van Cleave ‘08 and Jose Madrid ‘10 both serve as active members of the Capital Campaign Committee, securing gifts to help bring Arrupe’s strategic vision to life. Liz Cervantes ‘09 works for Haselden Construction, Arrupe’s general contractor, as the project’s Mission Liaison. Other alumni and student cameos include:
