President’s Message

Saint Mary-of-the-Woods C o l l e g e NEWS FOR ALUMNI AND FRIENDS

Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College has defied the odds. The persistent “can do” spirit that we inherited from Saint Mother Theodore Guerin and her companions has pervasively infiltrated our character and when “all appearances are against it”, we, like they, dig in our heels and find pathways into the future. You are each part of this same legacy. Thank you for your enduring care for one another, for this College and for our current students. I admire the intentionality with which you live your lives; serving your local community, making a difference in the world and remembering your alma mater. My hope is springtime has blessed you with a renewal of your spirit, regeneration of your forward commitment and above all, peace.
