On Sept. 21, 2023, Catholic Studies alumni from the past 30 years gathered with faculty and staff at O’Shaughnessy Distilling Co. to reconnect with classmates and friends and give thanks for this transformative program.
Some alumni were undergraduate majors or minors; some were graduates of the Catholic Studies master’s degree program. All enjoyed great food, beverages and a lively faculty panel moderated by Jonathan Liedl ’16 CSMA.
