From Your Alumni Office
Alumnae from the classes of 1932 through 1967 reunited on campus last weekend, to relive golden times and create new memories. Intermittent rain didn’t dampen their spirit or fun. Congratulations and thank you, to these wonderful women! You can view SOME of the additional photos on our website by clicking here. Next year’s reunion, particularly for the St. Mary alumnae from the classes of 1933 through 1963, will be June 20 – 22.

We hope you will call your friends and invite them to join you and us, at our Annual Alumni Happy Hour on July 19. This year’s gathering will take place at Barley’s Brewing Company, Ale House No.1, on High Street, sandwiched between the Convention Center and the North Market. Admission is only $8 and includes a great array of appetizers and chance to win some cool door prizes, not to mention the fun time. Call us or e-mail your rsvp.

Greater Cleveland area alumni are invited to our Cleveland Indians Picnic and Game on Saturday, August 11. The cost is $30 per person and includes a barbecue buffet, and admission to the game against the NY Yankees. Tickets are limited and available on a first-come basis.  Because we want as many alumni to attend as possible, we are limiting 2 tickets per alum. We hope you will join us for this special time at the Jake!

Congratulations to MBA student in our LEAD program, Jason Johnson, this year’s recipient of the Edgar Ingram Junior Innovation Award, established by John Kelley ’05, and his brother-in-law, Jamie Richardson ’05 in honor of their family patriarch’s entrepreneurial spirit and dedication. Jason’s business plan advanced him in the Kiwanis competition. Pictured from the left are Interim President, Bishop James A.

We hope you have a happy and safe summer. The door is always open and you are always welcome to stop in any time. We look forward to hearing from you soon.

Best regards,
