Meredith (Zondag) Hink ’01 grew up convinced of the importance of giving back to the community and helping those less fortunate. So when it came time to pursue her dream of becoming a dietitian, Viterbo University felt like home. Viterbo had at its core an emphasis on serving the community. “There always was an encouragement to give back, whether it was distributing bread to neighbors or working at Place of Grace,” she says.

There’s something poetic about the Viterbo University Class of 1970 being the first group of Viterbo graduates to conduct a 50-year reunion in cyberspace. The women who graduated half a century ago saw a number of Viterbo firsts while they were on campus.
