Hello!


What a semester it has been! The Haiti Pack-a-Thon was a tremendous show of joyous Serviam by the Ursuline community - well done!!! We have finished the traditional enrollment cycle strong and continue to take inquiries - very exciting! The auction committee has a good start on planning - thank you! And our students and coworkers are wrapping up a semester full of academic challenges and house fun!

It’s time for rest and quality time with loved ones. Have a wonderful Christmas break!!!
