Support Campus Ministry - Appalachian Experience with Vincenza Bartholomew
Join Vincenza Bartholomew in making a difference for Campus Ministry - Appalachian Experience as part of Day of Giving 2026
Why This Matters
"I give back to SJU because I am so incredibly grateful for all the doors having a degree from St. Joe's has opened for me. I made life-long friendships here and had my career path shaped through my experiences in undergrad and as an alum. My work on the National Alumni Board enabled me to do a career switch and now I plan alumni events professionally. I want students to be able to experience the transformative education that Saint Joseph's University provides, so I am happy to give back on Day of Giving and throughout the year."
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.
