“Having an East Coast connection to Saint Mary’s means the world, because we sometimes feel so far away. But then activities and events happen and we feel close again,” said Kiersten Daniel ’01, one of nearly 30 alumni and parents who came together in Manhattan to celebrate the College and hear about this year’s vibrant campus happenings. Guests enjoyed food, libations and good company in a private room at The Penn Club on 44th Street.
“The growing presence of Saint Mary’s alumni in New York is encouraging on many levels. We can be a strong support to each other professionally and personally,” said Tim McAndrews ’96.
Newly appointed Vice President for Advancement Lisa Moore '96 shared new developments in fundraising, including two major gifts to the School of Science, as well as Carnegie Hall inviting the SMC Choir to perform in April. Athletic Director Mark Orr shared the latest news from Athletics and previewed the big basketball game the following night against the Red Storm of St. John’s.
“Bringing the Gael spirit and Saint Mary’s pride to the East Coast reminds me about what it is to be Lasallian—the sense of community and the sense of spirit. No matter when you graduated, we all share that special, truly fun connection,” Daniel said.
