St. Mary’s Day
March 10, 2020  /  8:30 AM - 5:00 PM

Hosted by the Divisions of Inclusive Diversity and Equity and Student Affairs in collaboration with the Center for the Study of Democracy

St. Mary's Day is a campus-wide event focusing on “civil discourse” and its potential impact on our campus.

The impact of the 2016 election on our campus climate showed us that we have work to do around cultivating an environment where all students, faculty, and staff feel empowered to engage across lines of ideological and experiential differences. As the November 2020 election draws near, we think it is important that we make time to calibrate as a community through a day of reflection on principles and practices that, if taken up in real and consistent ways, will help us navigate the coming months and beyond.

In order to promote broad engagement from students, faculty, and staff, we are cancelling classes and suspending all non-essential operations as means to facilitate student, staff, and faculty participation in the day as a “class of the whole.”
