Alumni Weekend 2020 Postponed

Due to the pandemic, we recently surveyed this year’s anniversary classes with possible options on when to host Alumni Weekend for their classes. After reviewing the thoughts and concerns Alumni have submitted through our survey, Mount Saint Mary College has made the difficult decision to postpone Alumni Weekend until September of 2021.

We hope to welcome you back to a safe and healthy Hudson Valley next year, where will celebrate the 2020 anniversary years with the 2021 anniversary years. One big celebration!

In the meantime we will be having a virtual gathering in September to celebrate your anniversary.

We will be sending updates via email, social media and www.msmc.edu/alumniweekend as more information is available.
