This month, I’m proud to share this message from someone who leads with purpose every day, our Director of Admissions, Juan Garcia.
What is it?
A Monthly Message from the Desk of President Robert J. Fine, Jr. Featuring Guest Contributor: Greg Prospero, Alumni Director
The Fine Point is a personal message from President Fine and select guest contributors that offers insight, updates, and reflections from the heart of campus leadership. Whether it’s celebrating milestones, sharing thoughts on leadership and education, highlighting campus improvements, or providing a behind-the-scenes look at upcoming initiatives, this blog brings our community closer to the vision and values guiding SJNA forward. It’s a space to stay informed, inspired, and connected to the pulse of our Academy.
A Legacy That Lasts | July 2025 Edition
During our first-ever Alumni Weekend this past May, I took a moment to appreciate the history of the parade field and all those who marched upon it, generations of SJNA graduates side by side, sharing stories, shaking hands, walking the grounds they once called home. A weekend just for alumni, created to engage, educate, and foster the entire community. We have now created a memorable weekend not only for them but for the whole community, allowing all to engage side by side, sharing stories and connecting, a real opportunity for the alumni to associate with faculty and meet cadets.
It was more than a reunion. It was a homecoming that reaffirmed just how much our alumni matter, not only to our history but to our future.
