10/29/2025
Reuniting With Friends Old and New at the Right Place on the River
It’s hard to believe that Reunion and Homecoming Weekend 2025 was nearly two weeks ago!
After months of preparation, meetings with classmates, registrations, hotel room bookings, and more—classmates from graduating classes ending in 0 and 5 came together for a memorable weekend at the Mount. It’s safe to say that fun, joy, and laughter were had by all who returned home to Mount Saint Vincent from October 17-19 for a weekend full of reminiscing with classmates from decades past.
Over 200 alums and their guests made their way back to the Mount’s Riverdale campus for a celebratory and time spent with friends both old and new.

Recording: Coffee with the President
Reunion and Homecoming Weekend festivities kicked off with several events on campus on Friday evening, including campus tours, an immersive wine tasting, and our annual Reunion Dinner Celebration—featuring a live band! Alums staying at our Reunion hotel then made their way back to our hospitality room as they were treated to a mesmerizing an thrilling mentalist show to end the night.
Waking up feeling refreshed and ready for a new day, Saturday featured all of the traditional Reunion and Homecoming events—plus more! President Burns shared her news and updates on the University over coffee; alums explored the renovated fifth floor of Founders Hall (which is the home of Seton College); a meal was shared at the White and Gold Luncheon; the Homecoming Festival and two soccer games took place for students, families, and young alums on Marillac Field; class gatherings commenced in the Founders Hall classrooms; Reunion Mass was celebrated; and the evening concluded with the sought-after Cruise Down Memory Lane up and down the Hudson River.
Phew—that was a lot on the docket! But the weather was absolutely spectacular, and we couldn’t have asked for a better weekend in the Bronx.
And don’t forget about our current students! As our alums were sailing on the Hudson, students gathered in the Peter Jay Sharp Athletic and Recreation Center for Mount Madness—a school-wide pep rally to launch the start of basketball season. The event also featured performances from the Mount’s dance teams and other spirit-filled events.
But don’t think we were done there…
Reunion and Homecoming Weekend closed out on Sunday with a special Reunion Brunch, featuring the presentation of the Alumnae/i Distinguished Service Award to Michelle A. Mally ’70 and the Sisters of Charity of New York Tribute Award to Georgina Nieves ’08.
