Celebrate Bennie Day Your Own Bennie Way
Show the world your Saint Ben’s spirit this year on Thursday, Sept. 29, with some Bennie Day fun! Bennie Day is a day of camaraderie started by students over 20 years ago to honor school pride and acknowledge how special it is to be a part of the CSB community. Held during Homecoming week each year, we continue to celebrate on campus and with Bennie alumnae near and far!

“A Timeline of CSB's Presidents” with Archivist Peggy Landwehr Roske ’77 via Alumni Learning Consortium (ALC).
A retrospective look at CSB's presidents seems timely as the first president of both CSB and SJU, Brian Bruess, settles into his first year at the helm. Archivist Peggy Roske '77 will give an overview of the women (and one man) who served as CSB presidents from 1913 to 2022. Who were these people and what did they accomplish? Register
