Anne Rohe Holmberg (Class rep)

My major was: Elementary Education and currently I am a 2nd grade teacher in Minnetonka. My favorite memory at Saint Ben’s is: Studying abroad in Ireland I plan to attend reunion because: I feel fortunate that I see many of my Bennie friends on a regular basis. However, reunion will give us the opportunity to experience the good 'ol times back on campus in our old surroundings away from the busyness of our day-to-day lives. I also look forward to reconnecting with others who I haven't seen and experiencing how CSB has changed in ten years. I hope to see many of you there!

Nicole Christopherson Anderson

My major was: Communication Currently I am: Married, no kids yet but an adorable dog, living in Eden Prairie, working in Sales for an IT company, competing in triathlons in the summer and skiing in the winter, and traveling as much as we can! My favorite memory at Saint Ben’s is: All of the fun friends I've made and times spent with them I plan to attend reunion because: I can't wait to see some of the women from our class and catch up!

Leah Huesing Anklam

My name is Leah Huesing Anklam. My major was Social Work and I am currently staying home with our 2 year old, Madeline and 3 month old, Owen. My favorite memory of St. Ben's was getting the opportunity to study abroad in Segovia, Spain - definitely one of the best times in my life. I am looking forward to attending reunion because I love spending time on the St. Ben's campus & catching up with all of my Bennie friends. Hope to see you all there!

Heather Holland Neubauer

My major was: Political Science and Spanish minor Currently I am an attorney with Foley & Mansfield in Minneapolis. I married Sean Neubauer in 2000. We live in Waconia and have a little girl Berkley and boy Breck. Favorite memory: My favorite memories of college include formals at the Kelly Inn, dancing at the LA, girls’ night for watching FRIENDS, and late night orders of Gary’s Pizza. I plan on attending the reunion because I can’t wait to see all my college friends and check out the changes to both campuses.

Sarah Spitzmueller Stremcha
My major was: Political Science Currently I am: A wife, a mom, and a project manager in technology Thomson Reuters. My favorite memory at Saint Ben’s is: Having lived with my best friends for 4 years! You don’t realize what a treat it is to have your best girlfriends next door and down the hall until you all live in different cities and parts of the country I plan to attend reunion because: It will be a fun to spend time with the women I see often and friends I haven’t seen since graduation.


Sally Koering Zimney
My major was: Theater and English Currently I am: the Director of Communications at Youth Frontiers, Inc., married to Andy Zimney (SJU class of '99), and a mother of two kiddos: Maren (3), and Luke (1). My favorite memory at Saint Ben's is: Hmmm.... being in shows - the incredible professors! - and sitting around with the roomies eating popcorn and putting hilarious quotes up on the infamous quote board that still make me laugh! I plan to attend reunion because: It's becoming more and more difficult to find time with my girlfriends - and I want to ensure that I stay connected with the amazing women and men from that time of my life! Plus - a weekend away! FUN!
