You know what they say … “the apple doesn’t fall too far from the Chapel.” Well, that’s not exactly what they say, but for the father and daughter duo of Steve ’88 and Erin ’18 Clark, it seems appropriate.
Although Marty Kilbane ’21 grew up in Cleveland, his parents — both UD grads — established a tradition of taking the family to Dayton to attend Christmas on Campus, and the result is truly a gift.
When he was just 8 years old, Joseph Boateng left his home in Ghana to live with his parents in Ohio. It was a journey undertaken with the hope to reunite with his family and prepare for a bright future. It would also, with a little help from fate, lead him to the University of Dayton.

Bob Higdon ’62 and his wife, Merle, had lunch in Kennedy Union with a few UD students this year. They were on campus to visit some friends, make new ones and add a little ink to the scholarship agreement they had created.
