The College of St. Scholastica

What advice do you have for Saints who will call this place home in a few weeks? 💛

As summer winds down, we are preparing to open our doors for the newest Saints, the Class of 2030!

These students will arrive at the Duluth main campus in just a few weeks to a series of events designed to help them feel connected and supported at the start of their college experience.

St. Scholastica prepares to welcome the newest Saints: The Class of 2030 As summer winds down, The College of St. Scholastica prepares to open its doors to the newest Saints, the Class of 2030.

The Saints Heritage Club recognizes alumni who have reached their 50-year reunion milestone. The Saints Heritage Club members are inducted into the society at the annual Reunion Weekend luncheon. Each member is given a medallion inscribed with the College seal and the Latin words which translate to “All her ways are paths to peace.” The ribbon has two colors: Blue, signifying loyalty, and gold, which signifies the education you received. We invite these members back to campus for certain occasions to recognize their remarkable years of connection to the College.

We look forward to our next gathering on September 8th for Convocation and the Heritage Club Luncheon!

Over Dr. Barbara McDonald's seven years as president, more than 10,000 students have studied and earned degrees from St. Scholastica, carrying the values of this institution far and wide. The effort required to lead when times are easy is significant; the effort required to lead when times are unprecedently challenging is monumental.

For a unique perspective into Dr. McDonald’s presidency, we asked seven leaders to share about the impact she made on the College and region and how the work she led has prepared us to step with confidence into the next season of our journey together:
