Hilbert Creates Advisory Committees for Three Vital Initiatives

Hilbert College is pleased to announce the formation of the 125^th/65^th (FSSJ and Hilbert College) Advisory Committee, the Hilbert Track & Field Complex Campaign Planning Committee and the True Blue Alumni Weekend 2022 Advisory Committee.  

These newly created advisory committees will provide College leadership and staff with support and expertise in the planning and execution of each of the three projects and initiatives.  We extended invitations to current and past members of the Hilbert Board of Trustees, the Hilbert 2025 Advisory Council, the Hilbert Alumni Association Board and all Hilbert alumni who wish to serve.

As the Committee’s move forward in their work, volunteers may continue to join, as well as faculty and staff. Here are the detailed descriptions of each committee:

1. 125th/65th (FSSJ and Hilbert College) Advisory Committee
   
   The Fall of 2022 will be a very special time for our founding order, the Franciscan Sisters of St. Joseph (FSSJ) and the Hilbert College community.    This committee will assist in the development, planning, fundraising and execution of all recognition celebrations, events and activities as the College community prepares to celebrate the 125^th Anniversary of the founding of the FSSJ and the 65^th Anniversary of Hilbert College.  These planning activities will culminate in a period of celebration and events that will take place in September 2022.  This includes a 125^th/65^th Gala to take place on Saturday, September 10, 2022.
   
   
2. Hilbert Track & Field Complex Campaign Planning Committee
   
   In October 2020, the Hilbert Board of Trustees the College approved moving forward to design and build a new artificial turf Track & Field Complex that would open in late summer/early Fall 2023.  The College has retained a planning and design firm, and the Trustees approved the design and proposed cost in May 2021.  As the Hilbert leadership moves forward with this important project, this committee will assist in the key discussions, planning and assistance needed to engage the community and help support a successful fundraising effort.  Committee members will serve as ambassadors of the College and this important project that will impact the growth of our athletic programs and on future student enrollment.
   
   
3. True Blue Alumni Weekend 2022
   
   Hilbert College looks forward to hosting True Blue Alumni Weekend in 2022 and to host an on campus alumni reunion weekend for the first time in several years.  This event will be held in conjunction with Family Weekend and is slated to take place in late September 2022.  This event will celebrate class anniversary years ending in 0, 1 or 2 as well as all Hilbert alumni.  Committee members will provide leadership and support in the planning of all the events that will take place during the weekend, including Athletic Hall of Fame inductions, San Damiano awards and other Alumni Award celebrations.
