The Maryville community is celebrating our 150th anniversary in many ways, from attending events to posting our favorite Maryville memories on social media. The celebration continues throughout 2022 and will conclude at Homecoming this fall!
In February, Maryville celebrated athletics achievements past and present during Athletics Alumni Weekend with a series of signature events. The weekend kicked off with the Athletics Hall of Fame which honors the accomplishments of past student-athletes and athletics teams. Congratulations to the 2022 Athletics Hall of Fame Class: Shelby Miller Gliebe, ’15, Women’s Basketball; Elizabeth Kiblinger, ’15, Cross Country/Track; Armon Provo, ’15, Men’s Basketball; the 2001 Men’s Golf Team; and the 2016 Softball Team.
The weekend continued with Saints Skate at the Maryville University Hockey Center. Alumni, students, faculty and staff had the opportunity to skate on the same ice as the Saints. Afterward, they cheered on the men’s and women’s ice hockey teams during tournament games. The men’s team was crowned 2022 Lindsay Cup Conference Champions the next day. Athletics Alumni Weekend concluded with tours of the Maryville University Athletic Complex and the men’s soccer alumni game and banquet.
In April, Maryville Day featured a carnival on the quad. Attendees enjoyed food trucks, cornhole and traditional carnival games, including the high striker, clown tooth knockout and ring toss. Amid confetti cannons, Vice President for Student Life Nina Caldwell, EdD, and Maryville Student Government President Nidal Yasir ceremoniously cut a four-tiered 150th-themed cake. That evening, students participated in a silent disco where they danced to music listened to on wireless headphones.
Save the date!
