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.
When I leave Saint Mary's, I will be completing my CF at an elementary school in the Indianapolis area, where I will serve children with various communication disorders. I am looking forward to giving back to my community and living out my calling.

I would tell everyone to live everyday like it could be your last at SMC! You never know when a global pandemic may come and cut your time short, so go to the tailgates, dinners, walks, girls nights and everything else! Take advantage of the loving and caring community!

I would like to thank the chemistry students from the class of 2021. These women have been incredibly supportive, kind, and inspiring throughout our four years at Saint Mary’s. Thank you for being so wonderful, Chem Queens!

My words of wisdom: Do things that are uncomfortable! Seize every opportunity - there are so many here that I wish I had taken advantage of! Whether it’s a club, studying abroad, or taking advantage of the arts requirement to trying something new, ask yourself “why not?” If your only answer is “I’m scared,” then those are exactly the things you should be trying. College is about growth! Always be looking for ways to become the person you always dreamed you’d be.

My words of wisdom are that some days you'll want to quit, you'll think you can’t do it, you'll question why you started...those are the days that make you stronger, those are the days you have to prove to yourself that you can do this and you do deserve that degree.
