Each fall, Saints Nation gathers for a day of outreach called Maryville Reaches Out. Over the last 10 years, Maryville students, faculty and staff have supported hundreds of nonprofits in the St. Louis area. Now, it\u2019s time to reach into our own community.<\/p>\n
Maryville Reaches In\u00a0is a month-long campaign of giving that will benefit the Maryville community and our Saints in need. During the month of February, Maryville Reaches In will raise awareness about an issue on campus and encourage students, faculty and staff to support one another.<\/p>\n
