A Centennial is a pivotal moment for a university. It's truly a once-in-a-lifetime event. Our Centennial will be celebrated in 2012-13, and all events during that year will share a special focus and theme. Planning is well underway to celebrate 100 years of Saint Mary's and "A Transforming Heritage."
Alums, current students, faculty and staff have given us wonderful ideas about how best to honor our past, celebrate the present and look to the future. Now teams are busy putting these ideas into action.
The dates of major events are being set:
- June 23, 2012 – Cornerstone Commemoration at Homecoming
- Sept. 22, 2012 – Chicago Event at Millennium Park
- Oct. 5-7, 2012 – Debut of Arts Commissions at Family Weekend
- TBA Nov., 2012 – SGPP Alumni Reunion (Twin Cities campus)
- TBA April, 2013 – Student Celebration (Twin Cities campus)
- TBA April, 2013 – Student Celebration (Winona campus)
- June 21-23, 2013 – Centennial Celebration Event & All-Alumni Reunion
A special Centennial website offers news of events, historical information, and a way to purchase keepsakes and our Centennial book. There is also a wonderful opportunity to share your Saint Mary's stories and photos. Anyone with an affinity to our institution is invited to submit stories on the website at
www.saintmarys100.com and keep checking back for updates.
