As you may have read in a letter yesterday from Tim Gossen, Ed.D., vice president for Student Affairs and Student Life, Saint Mary’s is excited to welcome you back to the Winona Campus for in-person instruction and on-campus experiences as scheduled in August 2020. This return will be accompanied by accommodations to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 and to promote the health and safety of our Saint Mary’s community.

Saint Mary’s University is proud to honor this spring’s 609 graduates from our Schools of Graduate and Professional Programs with a virtual commencement ceremony Friday, July 17, at 7 p.m.

The university is pleased to announce it has received an initial gift of $600,000 from the Anglican Parish of St. Paul to support new initiatives and additional staffing in our Advancement Office. They have also pledged additional funds in the coming years.

The signs at the front entrance of the Winona Campus are being removed in preparation for construction of a more extensive remodel and upgrade to the campus entrance thanks to private philanthropy from an anonymous donor.

Despite a challenging spring, Cardinal student-athletes have not only persevered, they have excelled. For starters, all of our athletic programs achieved a 3.0 or higher cumulative GPA this past semester.

Saint Mary’s has received a number of requests from students, faculty, staff, and their families inquiring about how they can assist the many and diverse communities surrounding the Twin Cities Campus in the aftermath of the recent violence and destruction.
