| The Changes of the Season are Upon Us!
Greetings to all Mount Marty Alumni,
 October is a month of change and transition: warm to cold, dry to wet, and light to dark as summer's lush green-leaved trees turn to beautiful multi-colored leaves. It's a time and a place in the year where it seems we're caught in between the spaces, feeling the effects of both seasons, but having the full compliment of neither. It's a time of looking back and looking forward. Wherever you are in your own personal and professional life, take some time to think back to your own college days at "The Mount." These experiences, regardless of that time in our life, have shaped our lives, our careers, our futures, and took each of us through a time of important transition and growth. As Mount Marty College is experiencing many changes, we need you as alumni, more than ever, to help us move forward by providing feedback, suggestions, and input to keep people informed and engaged and make your Alumni Association the best it can be! Please feel free to contact me at anytime.

"We are honored to be named a Military Friendly School and look forward to working with the military community to provide access to education in the Benedictine tradition," said MMC President Dr. Joseph N.
