Saint Joseph’s University Vice President and Director of Athletics Ash Puri and his family received a warm Hawk Hill welcome today as they officially joined the Saint Joseph’s community. We’re thrilled to have them on campus and can’t wait for what’s ahead! #THWND
Puri steps into an athletics program that has built real momentum across its teams, competed on the national stage, brought home conference titles, and established a culture of excellence both on the field and in the classroom.
