Post a Memory - Many of us have memories of Saint John’s that we like to share with other Johnnies when we get together. Now, even if we can’t be together in person, we can still share some of our favorite thoughts about our alma mater and our time together. To do this, please email your story to Thom Woodward at twoodward@csbsju.edu. To learn more about where your classmates are today, visit Class Notes.

Reunion Notes from Classmates Who Couldn't Attend:

Sorry, can't make it this year -- a longish trip from SoCal. & much going on. Hello to classmates - & relatives - who make it, including uncle Norb Vos & wife, my dad's sister Mary Botz Vos. Believe they're the "oldest alumni couple" or some such.
Will try for next year.....
- Jim & Peggy Botz

So How Can I Get Involved?

If you’d like to be involved with our class committee, please contact Thom Woodward at twoodward@csbsju.edu or at 320.363.2586. Over the coming year, our class will be working on supporting the Four Cornerstones of the Alumni Association:

Student Recruitment: Asking classmates to refer potential students to the CSB/SJU Admission Office. (To do this, visit the Online Referral Page).
Student Preparation: Helping prepare current Johnnies for life after graduation through job placement, internships, and mentoring.
Alumni Connections: Helping enrich the lives of our 20,000 alumni and engaging them in support of the Saint John’s community, and reconnecting them in the online community or at SJU events.
Resource Development: Helping address the financial needs of the SJU community by supporting the Annual Fund or Capital Campaign.

We’d love to see you get involved, so please contact Thom Woodward today. The Class Committee is a great way to get reconnected to Saint John’s or to strengthen the connections that you already have.
