Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College (SMWC) is excited to welcome alumni back on campus for Reunion 2023. The event is set for June 2-4 for a weekend of fun and fellowship. All SMWC alumni are welcome to attend, but the milestone years — classes with the year ending with a 3 or 7 — are especially encouraged to attend. Registration is now open for the event.
The weekend is full of activities for alumni to reconnect, reminisce and make new memories. Alumni will arrive Friday afternoon for a 1 p.m. check-in at Le Fer Hall. A welcome dinner will follow for alumni, with a Golden Jubilee reception and dinner for the Class of 1973.
Sarah Stultz Mahady ’05, director of alumni relations, is glad to have another in-person Reunion.
“We are very excited to welcome so many alumni back! We are looking at a full schedule to give our alumni a weekend to remember,” Mahady said, “To have alumni who share such excitement for their alma mater is a true blessing.”
Throughout the weekend, tours of several facilities will be available — including the renovation and progress of Le Fer Hall. Alumni will also have the chance to tour Les Bois Hall, the new campus residence hall that houses the Campus Store and market. Meals will be provided in Doherty Dining Center located in Les Bois Hall. The Reunion Banquet will be held in O’Shaughnessy Hall.
Dottie L. King, Ph.D., president, and cabinet will host a conversation with alumni about the progress and vision for the institution.
“We want our alums to have a chance to relive their days at The Woods, but we also want to show them all of the updates we are making to campus,” Mahady said. “Many renovations benefit the building they know and love, which will keep the buildings standing for years to come. It shows that their gifts are truly making an impact on current Woods students.”
Reunion will conclude, as tradition, on Sunday with the 8 a.m. Mass in the Church of the Immaculate Conception, followed by brunch in O’Shaughnessy Hall.
On-campus housing in Le Fer Hall is available first come, first serve. Off-campus accommodations are also available at Hilton Garden Inn and Candlewood Suites with a special rate for Reunion 2023 guests.
