The temperatures are starting to dip, and the leaves are changing to beautiful oranges, reds, and yellows. In Winona, we are fortunate to be hemmed in by bluffs, so in the fall we are blanketed by a sea of beautiful fall colors. Our first virtual event of the year, Flock and Talk, was a success! Students were able to get to know each other and the admission staff here at Saint Mary’s by playing fun icebreakers while also talking through questions students had about college. If you’re interested in learning more about what Saint Mary’s has to offer, consider signing up for one of our remaining virtual events this fall or coming to visit campus to see what fall is all about in Winona![/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”2_5,3_5″ _builder_version=”4.6.3″ _module_preset=”default” width=”100%”][et_pb_column type=”2_5″ _builder_version=”4.6.3″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_text admin_label=”Featured Event” _builder_version=”4.6.3″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”26px|||||”]
