Alumnae classes from 1944 to 2004 will be welcomed back to campus June 4-7, 2009 to celebrate their five-year milestone Reunion. Alumnae will spend time reliving memories, renewing friendships, and even making new friends. In conjunction with the Reunion celebration, each class conducts its Reunion Gift Campaign to not only commemorate their Reunion Year, but also to engage in a little friendly competition for a few Reunion Giving awards.
Reunion Scholars Program: Together We Can Make A Difference
In its third year, the Reunion Scholars Program has awarded 317 scholarships to Saint Mary’s students. Over 90% of students receive some type of financial assistance; the Reunion Scholars Program helps the College provide the resources needed to meet this need.
For every $5,000 your class raises, one student will be designated as a Reunion Scholar- your Reunion Scholar. Keep in mind all gifts, large or small, can make a significant impact when combined together with other gifts from your classmates.
Without these resources students from diverse backgrounds would not have the ability to attend Saint Mary’s. Your support of your Reunion Gift Campaign and the Reunion Scholars Program provide other young women the opportunity to attend Saint Mary’s.
2009 Reunion Gift Campaign Awards
(Award Winners are based on contributions to the campaign from June 1, 2008–May 29, 2009) Each year, eleven Reunion classes compete to win a Reunion Gift Campaign Award. This friendly competition will end at the Saturday evening banquet during Reunion 2009 where the winning classes will be acknowledged for their accomplishments.
