A Resounding Symbol for Saint Mary's
For 100 years, the Le Mans Hall bell tower has stood as an iconic symbol of Saint Mary’s College. The tower has been silent until now.

The bell rang for the first time in its new home on June 6, commemorating the public launch of the Ring Out Ring True campaign.

At a meal with distinguished guests, student leaders, valedictorians, and their families, Conboy asks graduates to offer one word that best describes their Saint Mary's experience: "As I listened, I realized these words were doing more than describing a college experience. Together, they were revealing the invisible architecture of a Saint Mary’s education."
