A Legacy of Learning, Benedictine Values and Community

For more than 100 years, the College of Saint Benedict has provided young women the opportunity to receive an amazing education, grow in their faith and explore their dreams.

Our founding Sisters created this place where Benedictine values of hospitality, living in community and respect for others are paramount. Today, we are 26,000 alumnae strong, and we seek to carry on the tradition of educational excellence for future generations of women leaders.

The Alumnae Association is dedicated to connecting and serving Saint Ben’s alumnae worldwide, fostering lifelong relationships within the Saint Ben’s community. Through strong communication, meaningful programming, volunteer opportunities, and financial support, we strengthen alumnae connections while also inspiring and supporting current students.
