Saint Mary’s University became an even more notable community partner in Rochester, Minn., May 24 at a ribbon cutting dedication for a new 10,000-square-foot addition to the university’s Cascade Meadow facility. Starting in July, the addition will house the university’s extensive Schools of Graduate and Professional Programs in Rochester. And, through a special collaboration with the Mayo Clinic’s School of Health Sciences, the facility will house the graduate portion of a proposed 3+2 physician assistant program, which Saint Mary’s anticipates beginning in fall 2019. In honor of benefactors and Cascade Meadow founders Jack and Mary Ann (Wera) Remick CST’64, the addition will be called Remick Hall. This addition is a response to Priority 2 – Secure Saint Mary’s position in Rochester, prioritizing sciences and allied health programming; and Priority 4 – Achieve growth in the Schools of Graduate and Professional Programs through innovation and disruption of the model.
