McCoy hired as centennial and special events director

In 2012, Saint Mary’s will mark its centennial with a yearlong celebration and special events. As we approach this landmark occasion, we are pleased to announce that Bridget McCoy has joined Saint Mary’s as the university's Director of Centennial and Special Events.

She is a key member of the Centennial Celebration Committee that began meeting last fall to plan and execute the year's activities.

A graduate of the University of Minnesota, McCoy served as event coordinator with the McNamara Alumni Center at the U of M. In this position McCoy and a staff of five managed and executed more than 900 events annually. Previously, McCoy served as marketing coordinator for Gopher athletics.

McCoy feels a special affinity for Saint Mary’s as her father Lou McCoy ’79, brothers Rick ’08 and Mike McCoy ’10, as well as numerous uncles and aunts are alums. Additionally, her mother, Margaret (Stringham ’80) McCoy, is an alum of the College of Saint Teresa.
