Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College (SMWC) has opened registration for Reunion 2025, to be held from May 30 to June 1. The weekend will be filled with fun and fellowship for attending alumni. All SMWC alumni are welcome to participate with the milestone years – classes with the year ending in a 0 or 5 – are especially encouraged to attend. Housing on campus will be limited and offered first to the Class of 1975 and Class of 2000 who will celebrate their 50th and 25th Reunion.
The weekend will be 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 Les Bois Hall. A reception will be held in the new hospitality room in the equine area, where horse riding will be available for an additional registration fee. A welcome dinner will follow for alumni, with a Golden Jubilee reception and dinner for the Class of 1975.
“It is always rewarding to see our alumni return and enjoy the changes on campus, but realize that we are, in many ways, the same as when they attended. They can see the mix of innovation and tradition that SMWC displays,” said Catherine Mickey Saunders ’98, vice president for advancement.
Throughout the weekend, attendees will have opportunities to connect with friends and fellow classmates, as well as visit some of their favorite places on campus, both inside the buildings and outside at many of the beloved landmarks. Meals will be provided in the Doherty Dining Center located in Les Bois Hall. The Reunion Banquet will be held on Saturday evening in the McMahon Ballroom in Le Fer Hall.
Other events will include a conversation hosted by President Brennan Randolph and the Cabinet where they will discuss with alumni the progress and vision for the College. We Remember, We Celebrate, an event honoring classmates who have passed away, will be held in the Church of the Immaculate Conception.
Saunders shared, “The weekend will be full of laughter, tears and renewal. The Woods is an exceptional place. Reunion allows us to experience the unique feeling one gets when they enter the gates and drive down The Avenue of our beloved Woods.”
Reunion will conclude on Sunday with the 9 a.m. Mass in the Church of the Immaculate Conception, followed by breakfast in O’Shaughnessy Hall.
