Student Life

On any campus, learning and growth occur both in and outside of the classroom. On a campus like Saint Michael’s, where approximately 98 percent of the undergraduate student population resides in residence halls, the sphere of student development gains a special significance. Just as faculty members are highly educated and dedicated to teaching, there is a special group of people on campus who are devoted to each student’s intellectual, social, physical, and spiritual development outside of the classroom. Students experience a unique kind of caring and concern for all facets of their growth by the student life staff of Saint Michael’s College.

The College has a strong commitment to provide a positive first-year experience for students. Student Affairs professionals, in collaboration with Residence Life staff members, coordinate an extensive program of workshops and activities to address the intellectual, social, emotional, physical, spiritual, and cultural development of all first-year students. The following pages describe many of the services and activities available to the students of Saint Michael’s, all of which are designed to provide the type of support needed to enhance a student’s college experience.
