Thank you for joining us to recognize and celebrate the hard work, dedication and sacrifice of our students and their families. St. Mary’s University is a community that believes in traditions — traditions of excellence, of values, of faith. Today, we celebrate a long-standing tradition in which our graduates pass through St. Louis Hall, the University’s first building, before processing into Commencement.
These students will, for the first time, walk across the University seal in the building’s foyer and out the grand doors at the front of St. Louis Hall. They will process past what are likely some of their favorite places — Assumption Chapel, Barrett Memorial Bell Tower, University Center and Cotrell Learning Commons — giving them a final tour of their alma mater. For the graduates we celebrate today, this is a defining moment.
Please share in your graduates’ experience by watching their procession on the screen.
