Meet Our Alumnae
Saint Mary’s women are amazing! They’re articulate, smart, and driven. They lean in to their passions with care and compassion, and face difficult endeavors with strong critical-thinking skills. The world sees them as well-rounded women who lead with empathy and integrity. We see them as Belles — strong symbols of what Saint Mary’s stands for and incredible examples of how we prepare our students to discover themselves and their place in the world.
Browse this small selection of our incredible alumnae to see what path they took here at Saint Mary’s as well as how they put their minds and hearts to work in the world.
My future plans are studying for the LSAT and planning to apply to law school
