What a season! ⚾️ This summer, over 600 members of the Marist community stepped up to the plate with us at ballparks across the region. From alumni, parents, and friends to current students and even future Red Foxes from the Class of 2030, every event was a home run. Thanks for making this summer one to remember! 🦊

Fox cake toppers. A signature Marist Mojito. A keepsake that reads, "It All Began at Marist." The sweetest wedding details are often the ones that tell the story of where it all began. ❤️🦊

For Samantha (Hesler) Smith and Owen Smith, that story started in 2018 during a History Through Rock and Roll class with Dr. Garabedian. They started dating that March, and the rest is history.

"Marist will always hold such a special place in our hearts. Not only was it the place that brought us together, but it's the place that brought us so many incredible friends, memories, and opportunities. We are so truly grateful."

Their story is a beautiful reminder that while a Marist education lasts a lifetime, so do the friendships, memories, and sometimes even the love stories that begin here.

As wedding season continues, we'd love to celebrate more Red Fox romances. 💍 Did you meet your spouse or partner at Marist? Did you incorporate Marist into your wedding day? Share your photos and story with us in the comments or send us a message—you might just be featured next. ❤️
