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.

Kennedy Grace Minko ’21
Nursing
As an alumna, returning to SMC for my graduate degree felt like coming home. I've learned that I'm capable–even later in life–of so much more than I ever imagined. Our faculty and staff are second-to-none and do a tremendous job of helping students grow, learn and succeed. In addition to my studies, I had the opportunity to be part of "Hope Springs" on campus this semester, a beautiful and unforgettable experience. I felt so accepted by the cast and crew, and part of the campus community once again.

My advice for others is to not be afraid to be yourself and get out of your comfort zone. Take that class that you are unsure about; it could lead to your major or minor!
