Welcome to the Class of 2029!
Are you ready to experience your future home? Our most popular event, Meet Me at The Avenue is quickly approaching. This event will take place on Sunday, March 23, 2025 and is a chance to learn first-hand what it means to be a Saint Mary's student.
We have a full agenda
It might only be one day, but you'll experience plenty while you're here. You'll have the opportunity to hear from President Katie Conboy, get inspired as current students share their experiences with you, learn about our study abroad opportunities, and ask questions about financial aid. You'll also get to tour the campus, explore our residence halls, and connect with fellow students while sharing a meal together in the dining hall. You'll also receive a special gift as a symbol of the sisterhood you're invited into as a Saint Mary's Belle.
