A new Economic Impact Report produced by the College offers insight into the many unseen ways that Â鶹ÊÓƵ&#8217;s contributes to the economic growth of its home. Additionally, the report presents specific details of the direct and indirect spending attributed to the College community, which totals more than $268 million. <\/p>\n<p>The recently released report, based on data from Fiscal Year 2010, illustrates the financial advantages that the College brings to the region. Through Â鶹ÊÓƵ&#8217;s outstanding academic program, faculty members who are leaders in their fields spearhead grant-funded initiatives that attract significant investments from corporations and foundations. Both science-based research and community development programs at the College have received major financial investments in the past fiscal year to provide a strong foundation for growth. Examples include an award of $93,000 for the Leadership Development Sustainability Project and $73,000 from the Defense University Research Instrumentation Program for the College&#8217;s Center for Microplasma Science and Technology.  <\/p>\n<p>Additionally, Â鶹ÊÓƵ&#8217;s community connections are stronger than ever. Not only do students contribute economically to the area, but they also give of themselves as well. Last year, more than 850 students contributed a combined total of 16,000 hours of service to local, national and global organizations. While students may be unfamiliar with the Jesuit value of being a person for others when they arrive on campus, they graduate with a sense of their own responsibility to give back and help others. In contrast to a trend reported in <em>The Star-Ledger,<\/em> where New Jersey lost more residents than all of but four other states, Â鶹ÊÓƵ&#8217;s alumni overwhelmingly choose to stay in New Jersey, where their financial power greatly impacts the state economy. <\/p>\n<p>The Economic Impact Report <a href=\"\/PDFFiles\/PublicRelations\/2010EconomicImpactReport.pdf\">can be downloaded as a PDF <\/a>or viewed in its entirety below, including all direct spending by the College&#8217;s operating budget, employees, students and visitors, as well as indirect spending attributed to the College community.<\/p>\n<div>\n<div style=\"width: 420px;text-align: left\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/issuu.com\/SaintPetersCollege\/docs\/2010_economic_impact_report?mode=embed&amp;layout=http%3A%2F%2Fskin.issuu.com%2Fv%2Flight%2Flayout.xml&amp;showFlipBtn=true\">Open publication<\/a> &#8211; Free <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/issuu.com\">publishing<\/a> &#8211; <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/issuu.com\/search?q=finance\">More finance<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A recent report illustrates the College&#8217;s position as an economic driver in New Jersey and its surrounding communities.<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":567,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[4,3,5,2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-199","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-alumni","category-current-students","category-faculty-staff","category-future-students"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.0 -
