Congratulations Graduates

Dear Graduating Saints,

Congratulations to you, the Class of 2022! You have been on a remarkable, transformative journey at The College of St. Scholastica, demonstrating your determination to persevere, to find inspiration and to think critically, especially given the circumstances during the worldwide pandemic over the past two years. And here you are, at the finish line; you made it!

Your path has been marked by great things that will define you in the years ahead: growth and development, exciting new discoveries and new friendships, your hard work and grit, and most of all, your accomplishments both personal and academic in nature. Your resilience is impressive and commendable. You have inspired us all and we are very proud of what you have accomplished. We know some of your greatest accomplishments are still ahead.

We are honored to be sending you out into your chosen professions fully equipped as thoughtful leaders, sharpened and sensitized by the liberal arts, and well-prepared to serve and transform the world. You have met this mission with heart, mind and soul. And you now become part of a remarkable group of St. Scholastica alumni who are making positive differences in the communities they serve.

As we celebrate, I know this is not goodbye. We believe in our motto, “Once a Saint, Always a Saint,” and know we will be together again for many future celebrations. Until then, best wishes to you as you enter your next chapter in life. And remember to stay in touch with us!

Vivat St. Scholastica!
