Alumni Newsletter - The Marianopolite

A Historic Milestone for the College

Marianopolis marked a major milestone this spring when it finalized the purchase of its campus from la Congrégation de Notre-Dame.

The College is now the owner of the property it has called home for nearly two decades.

This is an important step in ensuring that future generations of students can benefit from the exceptional university preparation that is the hallmark of Marianopolis.

The support and engagement of our graduates remains crucial to our vision as the leading college in Quebec.

I invite you to read our most recent newsletter for updates from the Marianopolis community and opportunities to get involved with your alma matter.

Sincerely,

Christian Corno

Director General
