Events at Saint Vincent College

It's hard to believe how fast this summer has gone! With thousands of conference and camp attendees having passed through our office, these summer months went by in the blink of an eye. Despite how busy we may get though, we are always able to find time for fun and to make each other laugh. Here is a peek back at what our summer looked like:

Summer fun at Events and Conference Services!

Pittsburgh fans, your dreams have come true.

As the summer rapidly comes to an end, there is still good news. You have plenty of time left to visit Steeler's Training Camp and soak up some of those last few rays of summer sunshine.Go to http://www.stvincent.edu/trainingcamp/ for the 2014 Steelers Training Camp schedule and a map fo the Saint Vincent College campus to help you plan your visit. Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoy the rest of your summer!

Hello everyone and happy summer! My name is Emily Funyak and I will be a senior Communication major this fall at Saint Vincent. This summer, I am interning with the Conference Center at Saint Vincent College and I will be focusing on our marketing and social media. I will also be working with the Conference Center staff to help execute all of the camps and events that will be on campus this summer.

We have been busier than ever here at the Conference Center this summer. To start, Saint Vincent had the honor of hosting the Fred Roger’s Legacy Award presented to Yo-Yo Ma. And for the past two weeks, we hosted one of our biggest events of the summer, the Anglican Church in North America’s 2014 Assembly. While they were here, they elected a new Archbishop and held a variety of workshops for some 900 attendees!

Now, let me introduce you to the rest of our summer staff that makes it all happen!
