The Saint Mary’s University Schools of Graduate and Professional Programs (SGPP) is hosting “Go Red to Get Ahead,” an event on Feb. 26 that showcases the variety of SMU continuing education.

Activities for the event will last throughout the day and light refreshments will be provided.

As part of SMU Founder’s Week, the SGPP event will include informational sessions, an open house for the general public and informational displays throughout campus.

Students are encouraged to stop by the displays to explore SMU’s graduate programs and learn more about the benefits of continuing their education, according to Graduate Programs Assistant Geri Sharpe.

During the 2007-08 academic year, the SGPP had a record enrollment with 7,539 students in 54 academic programs, according to the most recent SMU annual report.

Classes are offered on the Twin Cities and Winona campuses, at the Rochester, Minnetonka and Apple Valley Centers and at 110 instructional sites throughout Minnesota and Wisconsin, according to the annual report.
