Albertus Magnus College’s 4th Annual Golf Classic is a Success
Event Benefits Student Scholarships
New Haven, Conn., July 21, 2022 – Rain fell but plenty of dollars were raised as Albertus Magnus College held its Fourth Annual Golf Classic on July 18, 2022 at the iconic New Haven Country Club in Hamden, Connecticut. The outing attracted 88 players representing Albertus alumni, benefactors, and businesses throughout the state. This event garnered $50,000 towards essential scholarships for students. Since its inception, this tournament has raised more than $250,000 in support of scholarships that transform and empower lives through education.
“We are so grateful to the businesses, individuals, and volunteers who support this important event year after year,” said Albertus Vice President for Advancement Mary Young ’91. “These funds are essential to make our students career-ready when they graduate and immediately make valuable contributions to their community.”
For the past six consecutive years, Albertus graduates outpaced the national average when it comes to finding jobs or continuing their education within six months after earning their bachelor’s degree. The graduating Class of 2021 alumni achieved a 97-percent success rate versus the most recent 82-percent national comparison rate, according to the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) Destination Survey results. Each of the College’s last six graduating classes have achieved at least a 95-percent success rate in the important early career success and return on investment metric.
