(Washington, DC)— On Wednesday, July 19, Congressman Steve Rothman (D-NJ) congratulated Seton Hall University (SHU) on its 150th anniversary. He addressed the House of Representatives, saying: “I rise today to congratulate Seton Hall University on its 150th anniversary and recognize the extraordinary contributions the university has made to my home State of New Jersey.
“As Seton Hall marks a century and a half of achievements, I join my fellow New Jerseyans in commending this esteemed university and its faculty, led by Monsignor Robert Sheeran.
“Seton Hall, located in South Orange, is New Jersey's largest Catholic university, and it was founded in 1856. Today, after 150 years, Seton Hall has become both a pillar of academic life in New Jersey and an invaluable member of the South Orange community.
“I proudly join the residents of the Ninth District of New Jersey in congratulating the students, faculty, and administration of Seton Hall University and wishing them a happy 150th anniversary.”
That evening, Rep. Rothman joined Cardinal Theodore McCarrick and SHU President Monsignor Robert Sheeran at a reception honoring Seton Hall University.
