2020-2021 centennial events

With the orange pop of Centennial Banners visible across campus in summer 2020, Rectory’s Centenary was off to a high-flying start. Whether online or on campus, students, alumni, families, friends, and staff around the globe celebrated Rectory’s 100 years since its founding in 1920 by Frank and Mabel Bigelow. See the fun we had this past year, and then make plans to attend our Centennial Weekend scheduled for April 22-24, 2022.
