Alumnae Association

 
Kick off the summer by celebrating Viz's Alumnae Reunion with our new date: June 10, 2023. Full moon pins and silver crescents will be presented to the 50 and 25-year milestone classes, respectively, at the luncheon, which is open to the classes of 1973, 1998, as well as their families and guests. Should space permit, registration for lunch will be open to all milestone alumnae beginning May 19, 2023. 
Spouses and guests are encouraged at all events.

If paying by check or Zelle, we must have received your payment by Monday, June 5, 2023. Otherwise, we are unable to reserve a space.

Please reach out to Lisa Kohler '02 at 314-625-9245 with questions. 
 
If you are a member of the class of 1973 or 1998 and are interested in purchasing your full moon or silver crescent, please click here to fill out the order form for Josten’s by March 29, 2023.
The Visitation Alumnae Association (VAA), founded in 1904, was created to foster opportunities for all alumnae to maintain an active relationship with the school and provide a fun and inclusive environment in which to do so. The VAA encourages alumnae to engage and connect with their alma mater in meaningful ways across all class years. The VAA has two general meetings annually to reflect on past events and plan upcoming offerings.

Volunteering and Class Representatives

What better way to stay connected with your alma mater, the Sisters, and fellow alumnae than volunteering your time, knowledge, and talents to the Viz Alumnae Association? This is a wonderful way to renew old friendships and meet other alumnae. Volunteers are always needed to help plan and execute events. If you are interested in helping, visit our SignUpGenius or contact the VAA President, Susan Mogab '69, or VAA Corresponding Secretary, Vivian Mera Van Bogaert '00.
 
Class representatives liaise between their classmates, the school, and the Alumnae Association. Our dedicated class reps help keep our alumnae contact information up to date, inform their classmates about upcoming events, fundraisers, and service opportunities, and advocate for Viz in the broader community.
