Johnson College Expands Pathway to Innovation Patio

Members News

Johnson College is expanding the Pathway to Innovation patio outside Ideal Saldi Hall, adding new opportunities for supporters to leave their mark on its Scranton campus. Established during the college’s last capital campaign, this distinctive brick patio honors the people and partnerships that have helped shape Johnson College’s mission of hands-on, career-focused education.

Each personalized brick represents a commitment to the belief in the transformative power of experiential learning. Johnson College invites alumni, parents, local businesses, and friends to become part of this growing legacy by purchasing engraved bricks.

Brick Options:
• Small Brick (4” x 8”): 3 lines, up to 18 characters per line — $250 donation
• Large Brick (8” x 8”): 6 lines, up to 18 characters per line — $500 donation

Funds raised through this campaign directly support the College Annual Fund, helping provide essential resources and opportunities for Johnson College students.

Orders placed by December 30, 2025, will be installed in spring or summer 2026, joining bricks already in place on the patio, a space regularly enjoyed by students, faculty, and visitors.

“This campaign offers a meaningful way to leave a lasting impression on our campus,” said Doug Cook, Senior Director of College Advancement. “By contributing to the Pathway to Innovation, supporters reinforce their belief in hard work, opportunity, and the future of hands-on education here in Northeastern Pennsylvania.”
