A Moment for Mission

For if it is Jesus who directs and teaches you, you will be well taught.

St. Angela Merici-7th Counsel

A Note from the President

Hello, 


You may have noticed that a major roof project is now underway. The current tiles are original to the building, which makes them 100 years old. The roofers are taking advantage of every break in the weather to assure that the front side of Merici Hall is completed before graduation. They will likely be on campus throughout the summer. Please be aware of restricted areas in the parking lot or areas surrounding the building.


Looking forward to seeing you at the UA Soiree!


All my best,

Peggy Slater
