Saint Michael’s has several centers that provide support for both students, faculty and the entire Saint Michael’s community in terms of curricular, co-curricular, service and independent initiatives.
Center for Women & Gender
The Center for Women and Gender promotes awareness of women’s and gender equity issues by educating students, faculty and staff and supports individuals by providing them with resources and referrals. For further information on the program contact Catherine Welch.
Edmundite Center for Faith & Culture
This center was developed in order to advance the place of the Catholic tradition in relationship to human culture and to promote greater understanding of and appreciation for the Catholic tradition among members of the College. The faculty director brings relevant programming to campus and provides support to faculty in the curricular implications of the Catholic Intellectual Tradition. For further information on the program contact Fr. David Theroux.
Edmundite Center for Peace & Justice
The mission of the Edmundite Center for Peace and Justice is: To integrate peace and justice concerns into everyday life of our college community. The Edmundite Center for Peace & Justice receives generous support from two endowed funds: The Esther Sorrell Lecture Series, and The Class of 2000 Peace and Justice Endowment.
A prominent aspect of the Edmundite tradition is a commitment to service rooted in love of God, and love of neighbor that respects the freedom and dignity of all people. The center shares in the mission of Saint Michael’s College to create an environment of teaching and learning that cultivates a commitment to service. Aiming to create educational opportunities where all are welcome with a spirit of openness and hospitality, the center will strive to image a world rooted in justice and peace. Since engagement with the concerns of the world are central to the learning process, the center will foster scholarship and service informed by the biblical call “to act justly, love tenderly and walk humbly with our God” (Micah 6:8).
To achieve this mission, the center offers a variety of learning opportunities in collaboration with academic departments, student services, other college departments, and other institutions of higher education. In providing experiential learning in a variety of local, national, and international contexts, the center draws upon the good will of church, community, agency, and government leaders willing to share their resources and experiences.
A minor in Peace and Justice was established in 2004. The Class of 2000 created an endowment to support the center. For further information on the program contact Laurie Gagne.
Center for the Environment
The Center for the Environment stewards the interdisciplinary investigation of environmental knowledge, skill, and experience by assembling our academic, co-curricular, and career preparedness and exposure programming both on campus and in our greater community. Students look to the center for research, work, internship, and academic opportunities. For further information, visit the Center’s website or contact Kristyn Achilich.
