More than 50 alumni and friends of St. John’s gathered at Sixty
Park Grill in Newark, NJ for a reception prior to the St. John’s
vs. Seton Hall basketball game on Thursday, February 5. The event,
hosted by the New Jersey Alumni Chapter, offered the opportunity to
mix and mingle.

Attendees were pleased with the reception and the value they
received for their ticket. Matthew Sosnowski '80NDC, '86MBA
said, “I took a chance and invited eight of my professional
associates tonight and they have nothing but great things to say
about St. John’s. I’m so glad we came.”
One of Sosnowski’s guests, Peter Quigley, an alumnus of Rider
University, had a lot to say in praise of the warm
atmosphere. “I’m a graduate of Rider, born in New York City,
but sitting here right now, I realize I probably missed an
opportunity to have some great and fun experiences had I attended
St. John’s,” he said. “This is such a great bunch of people here
tonight.”
The reception concluded with raffle prizes and an update of
future events from Mike Bart '85CBA, Central NJ Chapter
Coordinator, including A Day at the Races - Monmouth Park,
Saturday, May 9 and a minor league baseball game, Thursday, August
20. Following the reception, fans made their way over to the nearby
Prudential Center Arena to cheer for the Red Storm.
