The Office of Civic Engagement provides service, advocacy & experiential learning opportunities for St. Mary’s students, rooted in the Marianist charism.
Community service and civic engagement are at the heart of what it means to be a part of a Catholic and Marianist university, which calls us to involvement in and service to our community and society at-large. At St. Mary’s University, we are dedicated to graduating students who have a quality education and who are also civically engaged.
That dedication is a part of not only our University mission but also a foundation of a Marianist education. Our students are involved in the community through academic courses, special projects spearheaded by faculty and staff, and student events sponsored by various programs and departments on campus.
