Why Your Support Matters
Remember when you first stepped through the gates of St. Kate’s? It was a special place that would shape your future. You gained skills, knowledge, and confidence under the care of the campus community. You were pushed to succeed by professors. You made great friends, enjoyed student life, and most importantly, earned a degree.
Today’s Katies are on a similar path. Campus looks a bit different, but those iconic gates still stand, and St. Kate’s mission remains grounded in the same things: women, Catholic, liberal arts.
We look forward to celebrating your Reunion with you next summer in June 2021. Until then, thank you to our reunion celebrants who honored this year's reunion anniversary with a gift! Together, 512 alumni gave $578,002 to support students at St. Kate's! All reunion gifts will be acknowledged in the upcoming donor tribute and honored at next year's rescheduled celebration. A special thank you to the following alumnae for their leadership gifts that helped make the 2020 Reunion challenge fund possible.
