Hello SMC Residential Community,

As we approach the Thanksgiving holiday, we want to take a moment to express our heartfelt gratitude to each and every one of you. Your presence on campus brings life to our community and we are truly thankful for the positive energy and enthusiasm you bring to Saint Mary’s College.

During this Thanksgiving break, we hope you find time to rest, recharge, and surround yourselves with the warmth of loved ones. Whether you're traveling to be with family or enjoying a peaceful break on campus, we wish you a joyful and rejuvenating holiday.

We are here to support you in any way we can and we encourage you to reach out if you need assistance or simply want to share your experiences.

Thank you for being an integral part of the SMC community. Your contributions make our campus a better place, and we are grateful to have you as members of our extended family. May your Thanksgiving break be filled with laughter and moments of reflection.

Warmest wishes,

Fiona Corner 

Assistant Director of Residential Experience & RD of Guerrieri West Townhouse
