President’s Emergency Fund Assists Students Impacted by COVID-19
In the wake of the COVID-19 global pandemic, which ultimately upended higher education throughout the nation, Saint Mary’s has taken decisive measures to ensure the academic continuity of learning and instruction for students and faculty.

What Is Your Walk-up Song?
Baseball players are known for their walk-up songs, the music that plays as they approach first base or when pitchers take to the mound. Politicians also warm up the crowds with their walk-up tunes: President Barack Obama often took the stage to Stevie Wonder’s “Signed, Sealed, Delivered,” while Hillary Clinton pumped up the crowd with Rachel Platten’s “Fight Song.” And President George W. Bush rocked out to Van Halen’s “Right Now.” What is your walk-up music? What do you want to let people know about you, right from the start? Or if you use a song to inspire yourself before a challenge, what is it, and what does it say to you?
