SUMMER 2016
The sun shone brightly on 
Alumni
Reunion Weekend 2016
as 1,000 Bonnies returned home to 
celebrate friendships old and new. The
weekend was blessed with beautiful
weather, allowing for best use of the 
campus -- for baseball and Kan Jam 
competitions, long walks and socializing. 
The Rigas Family Theater in the Regina A.
Quick Center for the Arts was packed for
the farewell address of Sr. Margaret 
Carney, O.S.F., university president, and
later that day Sr. Margaret graciously 
accepted the 2016 William "Stax" 
McCarthy Alumnus of the Year Award. 
Classes ending in 2 and 7, make plans now
for Reunion 2017, slated for June 2-4!

first building, which burned down in May 1930. The bricks were
discovered during excavation for the Richter Center.
