Fisher Alums

This month in Fisher history, 1958: Father Charles Lavery becomes the second president of St. John Fisher College. This article is from the October 1958 issue of The Pioneer.

This week our Team Tuesday spotlight is on a different team: the Buffalo Bills. As we celebrate 25 years of hosting Buffalo Bills Training Camp, here's Norm Kieffer ’96, longtime employee and forever Fisher fan, taking a look back.

In the middle of July, why not celebrate Team Tuesday with men's ice hockey? From the 1960s squads, to the 2023 club hockey team national champs, to the varsity ice hockey team celebrating their first season at this year the Rochester Ice Center, our Cardinals can skate!

When you have a vision for a great shot of two gorgeous things - a bomb pop and Kearney spire - but it just doesn't work out. Too much summer perfection for one photo.

On this day in Fisher history, 1978: The former chemistry building is officially renamed and dedicated in honor of A. Charles Pioch, benefactor. (Information taken from the 50th Anniversary commemorative calendar.)

This might be open to correction, though: The Pioneer newspaper referred to it as "A. Charles Pioch Chemistry Building" as early as February 1977.

Had a great time at Resurgence in Buffalo last night! Thanks to all who came out for drinks and some good ol' fashioned Cardinal connections.

Congratulations to Rev. John Huber, CSB ’85, and Rev. Paul English, CSB ’76!
