Albertus Magnus College’s 5th Annual Golf Classic Deemed Huge Success
Event Benefits Lifechanging Student Scholarships
New Haven, Conn., July 6, 2023 – It was a beautiful day for golf but it was scholarship dollars that reigned supreme
at the 5th Annual Albertus Magnus College Golf Classic. The event was held on June 26, 2023 at the iconic New Haven Country
Club in Hamden, Connecticut. This year, the Knights of Columbus and Noble Wealth Advisors
of Janney Montgomery Scott were the presenting sponsors.
Thanks to the enormous generosity from the community that included 95 players, the
outing garnered more than $90,000 towards essential scholarships for students. Since
its inception, this tournament has raised nearly $350,000 in scholarship funds that
transform and empower the lives of young people through education. Scholarship support
is an institutional priority of Albertus because more than 90-percent of our students
receive some form of financial assistance. Scholarships help attract outstanding students,
make a college degree more affordable, and allow Albertus students to concentrate
more fully on their studies and educational experience.
“The support of this event year after year from alumni, friends, and corporate partners
clearly demonstrates the promise of how an Albertus education can transform lives,”
said Vice President for Advancement Mary Young ’91. “However, our work doesn’t end
here. Continued support is needed to make the dream of an Albertus education, a reality.”
These funds are also essential to continue to make Albertus students and graduates
workforce ready. For the past seven consecutive years, Albertus Magnus College graduates
have outpaced the national average when it comes to finding jobs or continuing their
education within six months after earning their bachelor’s degree. The Class of 2022
alumni achieved a 98-percent success rate -- a new all-time high for the College --
versus the most recent 84-percent national comparison rate, according to the National
Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) First-Destination Survey results. Each
of the College’s last seven graduating classes have achieved at least a 95 percent
success rate in the important early career success and return on investment metric.
