Student resident assistants had the opportunity to tour the "under-construction" 141-bed Winona campus residence hall, in preparation for welcoming new residents this fall. The tour was led by Jim Bedtke, vice president for the College, who showed the RAs an inside perspective on how a residence hall is built. Students have registered for the residence hall and excitement is building.
First-Generation Initiative receives support in many ways
The First-Generation program in Winona was recently visited by representatives from the Mexican Consulate in Saint Paul. Shown above are Ana Luisa Fajer, Mexican consul, and Alan Torres Tovar, external affairs, who met with students Cynthia Garcia and Nixcie Mazon (left and right), and program director Brother Ed Siderewicz. The university is fortunate to have generous benefactors who support our mission in many ways. The First-Generation Initiative and its students will benefit from a $100,000 matching gift from Jack and Mary Ann Remick of Rochester. Their match helped Saint Mary's raise $250,000 for First-Generation scholarships in 2012. The FGI program provides full scholarships — and continuous support — to low-income, high-potential, qualified students, with preference given to Saint Mary’s Lasallian partner schools.
