THE THOMAS J. MOSSER STRATEGIC COMMUNICATION WING


Dear Friends, Colleagues and Classmates of Tom Mosser,

As you know, Thomas J. Mosser — Tom to all of us — was an incredible person, inspirational mentor, and consummate communications counselor. He was fair, ethical, thoughtful, and deliberate. He spoke softly, but when he spoke, people Tom Mosser, Class of 1965listened. He reminded us of the importance of working as a team because that was the key behind any successful campaign.

We were all part of “Tom’s team” for the greater part of 25 years. His leadership gave us all so much. At this moment, we have a unique opportunity to show our gratitude and honor him in a way he would have greatly appreciated.  We are now launching a special fundraising effort to create the Thomas J. Mosser Strategic Communication Wing in the School of Communication of his beloved alma mater, St. Bonaventure University. We have set a goal of $600,000 - $800,000 for this permanent memorial and have already received commitments of $350,000 from two lead gifts. We hope to announce the completion of this campaign on the 30th anniversary of Tom's untimely death, on December 10, 2024. 

We are counting on you — Tom’s friends, colleagues, and classmates — to join us in this undertaking.
