rom the halls of Berchmans to shared meals in the caf*, Saint Mary lives, learns, and grows as a community. A community is only as strong as its people—and USM has been blessed with alums, students, and friends dedicated to keeping the spirit of the Fmission alive.

Eloise Kipp, C’49, of Baldwin City, Kan., is a living example of a Saint Marian forever dedicated to the university community and its mission.

For 65 years, Kipp has been meeting with a group of Kansas City alums once a month for fellowship. They’ve shared thousands of laughs, watched babies grow into happy parents, offered advice and words of wisdom, and provided a constant support over the years. The group’s dynamics have changed over time, and they’ve moved from sewing, to playing bridge, to having lunch—but their special bond is forever.

Kipp even stays in touch with her freshman-year roommate, Sister Mary Francine Stubbs. “She’s wonderful,” said Kipp. “We still talk on the phone—actually, we got to sit down and talk for an hour at this year’s reunion.”

Reunions are a priority for Kipp. She’s only missed two or three over the years—and her husband of 63 years, Tom, has made it to just as many. “My classmates joke that he’s an honorary alum,” said Kipp. “He just loves Saint Mary.”

When asked about her greatest memory of her time in Leavenworth, without any hesitation, she said, “Friends—I made so many lasting friendships, and I still have those friends today.”

As affectionately as Kipp speaks about her friendships, Saint Mary is forever grateful for her nearly seven decades of unwavering loyalty and commitment to the university and its values.

*Students refer to Saint Joseph Dining Hall as the “caf.”

PHYSICIAN ASSISTANT PROGRAM LAUNCHES IN 2016 The University of Saint Mary is working to establish the second physician assistant (PA) program in the state of Kansas.
