Welcome
Message
from the dean of students
Whether you are a prospective student or current student,
parent, alum, friend of the University or just browsing, we
welcome you. At Saint Martin's University, we strive to support
student development both in and out of the classroom. The
Benedictine monks of the Saint Martin's University and Abbey are
grounded in the Rule of Saint Benedict which emphasizes
hospitality, outreach and community. Within our community, there
are many unique opportunities to support your development as a
student and individual.
Student affairs mission statement
Promoting the Catholic Benedictine understanding of
faith, reason, service, and community, the Department of
Student Affairs educates students through experiential
co-curricular programming. We teach continual listening
and reflection in order to foster an awareness of
difference that encourages students to work towards a
just society. Our students will understand their moral
obligation to a multicultural world and become faithful,
compassionate and conscientious stewards of their
communities.
The following departments work collaboratively to facilitate
student success:
Sincerely,
Melanie Richardson
