Presidential Tour Stops in Naples, Florida

President Dave Stec ’86 and Vice President of Advancement Tony Shuman ’91 met with members of the Padua family in Naples and in southern Florida during late February and early March 2026.

“I truly enjoy having the opportunity to connect with our alumni and friends on their home turf,” Stec said. “Spending time with fellow alums, telling our Bruin stories, sharing all of the latest Padua news, and updating everyone on the progress of our exciting Achieving Excellence capital campaign is what the Presidential Tour is all about,” he continued. 

The Naples tour stop concluded as dozens of loyal Padua alumni, parents, grandparents, former employees, and friends reconnected at a reception generously hosted by Wayne Ligato ’68 at The Classics Country Club.

The Presidential Tour continues next week, with a reception in Phoenix, Arizona on Tuesday, March 10, 2026. Click here for more information and registration details.
