NEWS FROM 18TH & BROOM
ALUMNI HALL OF FAME
SALESIANUM’S 16TH HALL OF FAME CLASS WAS INDUCTED IN THE SUMMER OF 2019 during a ceremony in Centenary Hall. Inductees were surrounded by nearly 150 family members, friends, classmates and Oblates. In addition, members of the class were also honored during commencement. Due to the uncertainty presented by the COVID-19 crisis, voting for the Class of 2020 Hall of Fame has been suspended indefinitely. While this decision is a disappointing one, we look forward to continuing this tradition as soon as we are safely permitted to do so. Tenui Nec Dimittam.
