Student Centers for Culture & Social Action
Enrich. Engage. Expand.
From the very beginning, Saint Mary's College has been committed to educating the whole person.
We know that some of the most important college experiences happen outside of the classroom. Our Centers for Culture and Social Action allow students to pursue vital self-discovery, broaden their understanding of the wider world, and participate in our diverse, multidimensional community.
