Gorecki Sunday Brunch!
Saint John's University was founded in 1857 by Benedictine monks as a men's college. College of Saint Benedict was founded in 1913 by the Benedictine sisters of Saint Benedict's Monastery as a women's college. During the 1960s, responding to changes in higher education and a desire to broaden educational opportunities, the two institutions created a coordinated academic system. Ben and Dorothy Gorecki are Roman Catholic benefactors whose philanthropy funded several facilities; its Dining Center among them.

“By All Your Saints Still Striving”
This familiar hymn is most often sung to the tune "King’s Lynn", a traditional English folk melody collected by Ralph Vaughan Williams in 1906. The hymn’s text was written by Horatio Bolton Nelson (1823–1913), an English priest and hymn writer. It is commonly sung in Anglican, Episcopal, and sometimes Catholic churches, particularly in the Anglosphere, during feasts honoring saints, including the Feast of Saints Peter and Paul on June 29.

The Philanthropist’s Dilemma
American philanthropists who amassed fortunes through innovation, risk-taking, and market competition frequently channel hundreds of millions into university capital campaigns. They seek the immortality of a named building—a library, business school, or engineering center—yet confront an academy overwhelmingly skeptical of the capitalist system that enabled their success.
Innovation and Competitiveness in Artificial Intelligence
In May of this year NIST renamed and expanded its former "AI Safety Institute Consortium" into the NIST "Artificial Intelligence Consortium". This shift moves the focus from primarily safety toward AI measurement, innovation, adoption, and U.S. competitiveness. NIST is actively seeking new members.
