A Note from the Office of Alumni Relations
Fall greetings from the hill! Are the leaves changing where you are? They are starting to change here. We hope you enjoy the beauty of the fall season.

 

Family weekend was held on September 26-28. The weather was beautiful and our students and their families enjoyed all that was planned. A highlight of the weekend was the Miss Immaculata Pageant. Congratulations to Sophomore Nilmaris "Nilly" Lawson, who was crowned Miss Immaculata on Friday. Pictured here with Nilly are Taylor Swisher and Gabrielle Gutshall, hosts for the Disney-themed event, who are also members of the class of 2017.

The weekend concluded with Mass and the Honors Convocation. Congratulations to all of our students who were recognized for their outstanding academic achievements.

Thank you to all of our sponsors and supporters of the 39th Annual Immaculata University Golf Invitational and Auction.

Over 80 golfers enjoyed a day on the links at RiverCrest Golf Club and Preserve on September 30. While the totals are still being finalized, the day was a success and all proceeds will support scholarships for Immaculata students. Thank you to all who participated!
