gaels give back: the Class of 2010 senior gift campaign
As many generations of Saint Mary's Gaels have graduated, they have left behind a legacy for you. Each year, over one thousand alumni support scholarships, academic programs, athletic teams and the many areas that make the Gael experience what it is today. Why do they give back? Because that's what Gaels do. They believe in the College and in keeping our core values and traditions the same so they pave the way for the next generation. Now it's your turn to leave a legacy.
