CHRISTMAS PERFORMANCES FOR THE PUBLIC
The joyous and uplifting Christmas service of “Lessons & Carols” was presented to the Winona community in the majestic Chapel of Saint Mary of the Angels on the Saint Teresa campus. The service — which earned a standing ovation — featured our Concert Choir and Chamber Singers. “Lessons & Carols” reflects on the Christmas story through short readings, hymns and Christmas carols sung by the choirs and audience. This public event was one of three Christmas arts performances by students including the Concert Band and the jazz groups.
STUDENTS AND ALUMS MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN COMMUNITIES
The university’s commitment to be a good citizen and neighbor — and to awaken, nurture and empower students to lives of ethical leadership and service — was evident in late October in Winona, the Twin Cities and communities around the country. More than 200 undergraduate students volunteered at 58 job sites in the city of Winona for the national Make a Difference Day and on the same Saturday, many alums demonstrated a Lasallian Catholic spirit to serve others in their hometowns and neighborhoods during the Lasallian Day of Service.
HOCKEY TEAM HONORS, HELPS LOCAL VETERANS
Partnering with a group of local Marines, the men’s hockey team painted the storage area of Winona’s Lake Park Bandshell in October. The student athletes helped Hiawatha Valley Marines in their effort to restore the bandshell basement as a place for local groups to meet. And in November, the team held Veterans Appreciation Day to raise funds for improvements in Veterans Memorial Park.
VIDEOS BY STUDENTS SHOW CAMPUS LIFE
Videos by students and Student Life staff reflect some of the energy found on campus this fall. One video shows athletes and returning students helping new students during “Move-In Weekend” and highlights move-in information for families coming to campus next year. Two other videos feature major fall events on campus, including our traditional Family Weekend and Halloween Fun Night, which draws 800 kids and their families to campus for a fun and safe outing.
BENEFIT RUN ASSISTS STUDENT WITH MEDICAL BILLS
Students organized
“Strong is the New Beautiful,” a benefit 5K run/walk for senior volleyball player Sabrina Larson Bushlack. Sabrina, who was critically injured in a summer car accident, is recovering and is expected back on campus for spring semester. More than 600 runners and walkers participated in the October event. Other fundraising efforts — including the Cardinal Corner run by entrepreneurial business students — are also dedicating proceeds this year to Sabrina.
