Joanne Gatti’s Saint Mary's story didn’t begin with her own college search, but much earlier—woven into the fabric of her childhood by her father, William Marshall Gatti, M.D. “My father graduated from Notre Dame in 1960,” the alumna from the Class of ’93 explains. “Family trips to Notre Dame football games often included unplanned detours to Saint Mary's campus. The car would just find its way down the Avenue.” Guided by love and a transformative Saint Mary's experience, Gatti hopes to inspire self-discovery and curiosity in future students.
