Welcome Class of 1975 to Your 50th Reunion Weekend!

Class of 1975 - Reunion Weekend 2015

 

Where We Are Staying

For those staying on Campus: While we do not get to pick our rooms, Saint Mary's will typically put the Golden Class in the newest Residence Hall, Brother William Mann. This building has air conditioning, accessible rooms, and private bathrooms in each suite. We have reserved the lobby and lounge of Brother William Hall for our class over the weekend, and highly encourage you to stay on campus with us! To see what that hall looks like, you can take a Video Tour of "Bro Will"

Please note that due to the Archdiocese of Saint Paul and Minneapolis holding their conference on campus during the week, on-campus rooms will not be available until Friday night, so please make your travel plans accordingly.

For information about other campus halls and/or hotel accomodations, visit the Accomodations page.
