Join Connor Quealy in making a difference for Campus Ministry - Appalachian Experience as part of Day of Giving 2026
Why This Matters
"I want to support the place that made me who I am today.I give because Saint Joseph’s invested in me first. A generous scholarship made my education possible, and my experiences — from service and leadership opportunities to lifelong friendships — shaped who I am today. My time in ACESJU deepened my commitment to service and showed me the real impact of generosity in action. Now working at SJU, I see every day how giving opens doors for students. Supporting Saint Joseph’s is my way of paying forward the opportunities, community and formation that helped make me the person I am today."
About Campus Ministry - Appalachian Experience
The Appalachian Experience (APEX) is an Ignatian, alternative spring break program focused on service, immersion, and learning about Appalachian history and culture. Participants prepare before Spring Break, then spend a week serving in Appalachia and reflect on their experiences afterward. Since 2019, APEX costs have risen due to transportation, food, and other expenses, with the cost for 2026 estimated at $800 per participant. We hope APEX alumni and friends will help current students access this impactful experience.
