When President John J. Hurley announced that he was lowering the college’s tuition by 23 percent, the crowd packed into Science Hall, erupted into cheers and applause! More than 400 members of the campus community turned out to hear the good news Monday at 4 p.m. in the Science Hall Commons. In a bold move, President Hurley unveiled Excellence Within Reach, a new plan to reduce tuition for full-time undergraduate students from $34,966 annually to $27,000, beginning with the fall 2018 semester. The initiative is designed to make the college’s transformative Catholic, Jesuit education more accessible to all.
