The Maryville community continued to celebrate our 150th anniversary at Maryville Day.
The event featured a carnival on the quad where 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. The dance party was the last big event before finals week. Thank you to Go Saints, the student-led, spirit and pride organization, for helping put on the event.
Maryville’s 150th anniversary celebration continues throughout 2022 and will conclude at Homecoming this fall. For more information, visit maryville.edu/150. Please join us!
