A Moment for Mission

You have every reason to be happy and rejoice, because a great reward awaits you in heaven.

St. Angela Merici-Intro to the Counsels

A Note from the President

Hello and Happy New Year! As I write this, we are welcoming almost 50 young alumnae to campus for Back to School Day, during which they will be sharing their college experiences with UA seniors. It’s one more step toward preparing the Class of 2026 for the transition to college and there is no better source of information than fellow Bears! We appreciate these alumnae making the time to share lessons learned and advice.


Yes, graduation will be here in a blink … but in the meantime …. I hope you’re making plans to attend the UA Soiree on Saturday February 7!!! It’s a special night that you don’t want to miss … a night that benefits the Bears but is also a good time for the grown upsl! Early bird ticket sales run through January 11 and donations, ads/grandparent ads are due by January 10. Reach out to Kait Eisenhoffer at keisenhoffer@ursulinestl.org or check out the website at www.ursulinestl.org/auction today!


All my best,

Peggy
