This school year Saint Mary’s University has gone through many changes, one of which is the implementation of a Student Engagement Plan sponsored by the Young Alumni Association.
The program was developed to help encourage students to become aware of and gain an understanding and appreciation for the university and the role that alumni play at SMU. In the spirit of the holidays, candy canes with notes of how an alum has given back to SMU were sent to every student’s mailbox last week. The bag of treats also included a slip for students to turn in for a raffle to win a SMU sweatshirt. The winner will be notified Friday, Dec. 11, by e-mail.
Beginning next semester, displays throughout campus will showcase fun facts, historical dates, then-andnow photos and much more, all highlighting significant aspects of SMU’s history. For example, the men’s basketball team once played and defeated the famed Harlem Globetrotters.
“Saint Mary’s has a rich history full of memorable people, mysterious happenings and long standing traditions that we want current students to be a part of,” said Young Alumni Coordinator Sabrina Kelly.
