University of St. Thomas Alumni

🍦😋🍬 Tommies make life so much sweeter! Thanks for joining us at Dream Creamery – it was great to see you. Stay tuned for more Tommie Alumni Pop-Ins coming this fall.

Mark your calendars for September 26 – our 50+ year reunion and Purple Guard (formerly Old Guard) reunion kicks off during Homecoming weekend! https://link.stthomas.edu/purple-guard-reunion

For decades, the St. Thomas Old Guard has honored the tradition, loyalty and lasting contributions of alumni who graduated 50 or more years ago. With members noting that "Old Guard” no longer fully captures the essence of this vibrant group, the Alumni Engagement team, in partnership with the Alumni Engagement Board, sought community feedback through surveys, focus groups and discussions to determine a new name.

We are proud to introduce the University of St. Thomas Purple Guard — a name that honors the same enduring spirit of generosity, service and steadfast support that has defined this group for generations.

There isn't just one path to becoming an entrepreneur.

Some Tommies launched a business while they were still students. Others waited until years after graduation. Some have built multiple companies, while others turned a side project into something bigger.

No matter what your journey looks like, we'd love to hear about it.

The Schulze School of Entrepreneurship is inviting all University of St. Thomas alumni who have started a business to complete this year's Princeton Review entrepreneurship alumni survey. You don't have to have studied entrepreneurship. If you've ever taken the leap to build something of your own, your experience counts.

Every response helps tell the story of Tommie entrepreneurs and the many ways they're making an impact. That story helped earn St. Thomas recognition as the #11 undergraduate entrepreneurship program globally, #1 in Minnesota and #2 among Catholic universities in this year's Princeton Review rankings.

The survey takes just a few minutes, responses are confidential and reported only in aggregate, and you'll receive a free St. Thomas baseball hat while supplies last as our thank you.

⏰ Please complete the survey by August 15.

And if another Tommie entrepreneur comes to mind while you're reading this, we'd appreciate it if you'd share this post with them or tag them in the comments.
