PAXTON – Anna Maria College is celebrating its 75th anniversary this year and is marking the occasion with a slate of community events and programs, the school recently announced. The celebration will culminate at the college’s annual Service and Success Gala, where the 2021 recipient of the Presidential Award, which recognizes alumni and supporters of the school, will be chosen. “It speaks to the wisdom of the Sisters of St. Anne in establishing an institution that associates a quality education with social responsibility,” said Anna Maria President Mary Lou Retelle. “The challenges in today’s world and the recent pandemic particularly affirms the importance of service to community. It is more critical than ever to have a citizenry that is well-educated, ethically grounded and ready to serve and we especially honor those alumni working toward the public good.”
