Florida Chapter
When 22 Marist students and three staff traveled to Punta Gorda, Florida during Spring Break in 2012 to volunteer with the Charlotte County Habitat for Humanity Chapter, Marist alumnus Ernie Arico '76 interviewed several participants and produced a video. Thank you for sharing with us Ernie!

Capital Campaign Celebration
More than 14,000 donors contributed to the Campaign for Marist, the College's first comprehensive Capital Campaign, which surpassed its ambitious $150 million goal. On February 21, 2013, close to 100 members of the Marist community gathered in Naples, Florida for the first in a series of Campaign Celebrations. The retired faculty, alumni, parents, friends and administration in attendance were the first to see a brand new video highlighting the Capital Campaign's profound impact on Marist and our students. During the reception, Florida Alumni Chapter President Ernie Arico '76 presented Ron Vuy '74, general manager of LaPlaya Beach and Golf Resort, with the annual Florida Alumni Chapter Award to thank him for his leadership and support of the Marist College Alumni Association.
