First Women of Saint Mary’s event a huge success

To culminate a year-long celebration of the 40th anniversary of women at Saint Mary’s, the Alumni Association, along with a 13-member alumnae steering committee, hosted a First Women of Saint Mary’s Event, Oct. 7 – 10.

It was a fantastic weekend filled with wonderful reconnections between alumnae and the university. The celebration began with an opening social at the Minnesota Marine Art Museum and a presentation by Rachelle Schultz, CEO of Winona Health and board chair of the museum.

Throughout the event, alumnae attended and spoke in classes; faculty hosted academic open houses; and alumnae attended a faculty and staff reception.

Other activities included a 5K run/walk, ropes course activities, an introduction to a Ceili dance class by Dr. Katie Flanagan, campus tours, a luncheon and guest speaker, a canoe trip with Brother John Grover ’65, and trolley tours of Winona.

The weekend’s formal activities concluded with a dinner and entertainment, which included a warm welcome by Brother William and a flashback to the ’70s Blue Angel/Gaslight show that ended with a rousing performance by the Oldie Moldie All-Stars.

SMU’s First Women alumnae brought a wonderful energy to campus. Photos of the event can be viewed at www.smumn.edu/alumniphotos.
