Your graduate-level instruction on being a College of Saint Benedict alumna
You may not be a CSB student any more, but you’ll always be a Bennie. And there’s lots for you to learn about staying engaged, keeping connected and getting the most from the power of the CSB alumnae network. You’ve come to the right place. Here are a few freebies (who doesn’t love that?) and small reminders of your CSB home. We look forward to seeing you back on campus soon!

| Special K cereal | 6 oz. |
| Semi-sweet chocolate chips | 1-1/4 cup |
1. Spray a large mixing bowl with vegetable oil spray.

3. Add peanut butter and mix well. Microwave for approximately 1-1/2 minutes.
