During lunch on Move-In Day, SMWC Vice President for Enrollment Management Brennan Randolph presented President King with a special box filled with acorns, each one representing members of the class of 2021. “Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College has many traditions tied to our woods. We recognize the potential and strength of the acorn in our woods as we recognize the potential and strength in each of you,” Randolph told the students. “You have been planted here and we look forward to seeing you grow …” he added.

New Mobile Website Launched at SMWC

Following a 13-month process, SMWC launched a new website in early September. The new site provides greater accessibility on mobile devices, which is key to meeting the needs of prospective students.
