Alums and friends of the College should check their mailboxes in the coming weeks for a postcard outlining some of the events planned for the College’s centennial.

Although we will mark the College’s 100th anniversary throughout the 2020-2021 academic year, much of the celebration will be focused on Founders’ Day on September 22 and HOME.COMING & Family Weekend, which will be held September 25 through 27. Look for a liturgy and tea, an evening celebration, the launch of the 100 Hours of Service, and a ribbon-cutting ceremony to rededicate the College.

See our centennial page online for more details, with additional information to come.
