Conversations from 17th & Girard

Conversations from 17th and Girard is the Prep's speaker series that connects influential leaders from our alumni community to Prep Nation to encourage thought, discuss critical topics, and highlight perspectives and knowledge.

Thanks to the St. Joseph's Prep Alumni Office, these events are open to the entire Prep Community (parents, students, and colleagues as well as alumni). If you are interested in joining or presenting at any of these events, please contact Charlie Van Kula at cvankula@917877.com. We hope that you will join us for these conversations to further the mission of our school.
