LET THE CENTENNIAL BEGIN!

This is a year unlike any other. Normally there is a brief lull between May commencement and June homecoming. Not this summer! The university is preparing to launch our year-long Centennial celebration during the alumni Homecoming weekend. This Saturday at 2 p.m. we will commemorate the laying of the Saint Mary's Hall cornerstone in 1912 with a special program, open to the public, and a "birthday party." This event will be just the beginning and I encourage you to watch for information about all of the Centennial events in the year ahead.

During the past few months, the students finished the year with service activities, academic excellence, and fun. Let me tell you about a few of these activities.
