We asked what college was like 65 years ago. The answer did not disappoint.

Vic and Al graduated from college together in 1961 and have been friends ever since. That’s the Saint Mary’s connection! Friendship, scholarship, and a love of life that lasts.

As they put it: “We worked hard, we played hard, and we got a first-rate education.”

"The world needs not only what we know—it needs who we choose to be."

A reminder worth carrying into the week ahead.

Thank you to Caledonia Buchanan '24, MA '26 for these words during the Invocation at Commencement.

The years pass. The SMC pride remains.

Last weekend, we welcomed our Golden Gaels back to Saint Mary's. These alumni graduated more than 50 years ago, but their connection to the College remains as strong as ever.

"It's like I'm stepping back in time 60 years." — Larry Castelli '65

Thank you to all who returned to reconnect with classmates and celebrate a lifelong bond with Saint Mary's.
