Alumni returning to campus and classrooms for Saint Martin’s Reunion Weekend 2011

September 20, 2011

Lacey, Washington — Saint Martin’s alumni will be returning to the University’s Lacey campus this weekend to enroll in “classes without quizzes,” major in reminiscing about days gone by, and minor in rekindling old friendships. The Saint Martin’s University Reunion Weekend 2011 takes place Friday, Sept. 23, through Sunday, Sept. 25, with several activities designed to reconnect alumni with one another and with their alma mater.

The fun starts Friday afternoon with coffee at The Monk’s Bean lounge in Harned Hall, then moves into the classroom, where attendees will enjoy entertaining (and quiz-free) math and history lessons. Friday night closes with a Welcome Home Barbecue in front of Old Main. Saturday events include an Alumni Association meeting, classes (again, quiz-free!) on the “religion of sports” and college admissions, a class recognition luncheon, campus tours, and a dinner featuring the best of local standup comedy. The weekend will conclude Sunday with morning Mass in the Abbey Church, followed by a champagne brunch hosted by President Roy F. Heynderickx, Ph.D., and his wife, Kathleen.

Reservations are still being accepted for Reunion Weekend events. For more information, contact Saint Martin’s Office of Alumni Relations at alumni@stmartin.edu or 360-438-4557.
