A Summer at Saint Mary’s: 2025 Summer Camps Recap
Five weeks, 10 summer programs, and 540 campers are a recipe for a beautiful, fun-filled summer at Saint Mary’s.

A Father's Influence, A Lifelong Impact
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.

Service is a Family Affair
Although Cathy Murray Lattimer ’83 retired six years ago, she’s hardly taking it easy. She volunteers 15-20 hours a week, making the world better one volunteer shift at a time with Indianapolis-area non-profits like Random Acts of Flowers, Fishers Youth Initiative, and Indiana Sports Corp. It’s a way of life instilled in her by her parents, Rosemary and the late Michael Murray. She taught her own children the value of service to others while they were growing up in Fishers, Indiana. Lattimer earned her bachelor of business administration in accounting and international business, and was also a varsity swimmer at Saint Mary’s College.

Threshold Moments
May and June have been busy months, full of the wonderful occasions that mark this time of year. In mid-May, Saint Mary's celebrated the accomplishments of our graduating seniors and sent them out into the world with the anticipated pomp and circumstance. And just a few weeks later, we welcomed alumnae—the 0s and 5s—for Reunion weekend. In this month's letter, President Conboy reflects on other such threshold moments.
