A Note from the Office of Alumni Relations
We hope you and your family enjoyed Thanksgiving and the holiday weekend. We certainly enjoyed ours!

On Wednesday, November 18, the Class of 2016 celebrated the last 16 days of their final Fall Semester at Immaculata with a happy hour at the Great American Pub in Malvern. We're looking forward to officially welcoming them as alumni soon!

The Christmas tree now adorns our rotunda and we are ready for our 95th annual Carol Night celebration. Thank you to all in our facilities department for the beautiful Christmas preparations around campus. Check out the video as the tree was placed in the Rotunda.

Don't forget that Carol Night is on Friday, December 4. If you cannot join us, please watch our website for the many photos that will be posted. Please RSVP if you plan to join us for hot cider and snacks in the Great Hall at 5:30 PM. Caroling will begin promptly at 7:00 PM. We look forward to getting into the Christmas spirit with you.
