The Madeleva Society
The Madeleva Society was founded in 1979 to honor Sister M. Madeleva Wolff, C.S.C., who served as president of Saint Mary's College from 1934 to 1961. She led Saint Mary's to national prominence as a Catholic women’s college offering a rigorous, value-centered education in the liberal arts tradition. As a tribute to this remarkable woman, The Madeleva Society honors those whose gifts demonstrate outstanding annual commitment to Saint Mary's tradition of educational excellence.
Gifts from Society members provide scholarships for students, support faculty-student research projects, expand and preserve our campus, fund immersion learning experiences, and more.
