More than 400 alumni from class years spanning 1953 to 2013 gathered on the Saint Mary’s University Winona Campus for Reunion Weekend 2018. Alumni of all ages met June 22-24 to greet old friends, reminisce, and reconnect with Saint Mary’s.

The weekend was full of events including boat rides, painting, golf, campus tours, music, a picnic, a run through the bluffs, and an awards presentation. Several class-specific gatherings took place on and off campus.

On Friday, June 23, the class of 1968 celebrated its 50th anniversary with a special dinner. They also held a meaningful outdoor ceremony honoring veterans, where many class members shared their personal experiences.

The class of 1963 presented a class gift of $61,845 to the university in honor of their 55th anniversary.

A highlight of the weekend included the alumni award presentations on Saturday, June 24. This year’s alumni award recipients included:

  • Dr. Bobbie (Smith) Gostout CST’78, ’83 ‒ Distinguished Alumna Award
  • Sarah (Bellingham) Laitinen ’07 ‒ Lasallian Service Award
  • Judy (Mullins) Lucas ’83 Alumni Appreciation Award
