Ut omnes unum sint — "that they may become one"
Auris Connections is a three-day orientation designed for students of diverse backgrounds to engage with the campus community, gather information about student support services and create lasting friendships throughout the college years.
All first-year students are welcome to attend Auris Connections! We foster an inclusive and welcoming space, where together we embrace the differences and similarities that make us who we are and walk with each other in our navigation of college life.
During the orientation, we will provide resources for all students to succeed and thrive at Saint Martin’s. We also provide specific resources for Pell Grant students, historically underrepresented students, ethnically diverse students, first-generation students, undocumented students and students from different faith traditions.
The best part of Auris Connections are our Auris Mentors. These are seasoned students who will impart their wisdom and knowledge about college life at Saint Martin’s. Auris Mentors embody the Benedictine values of hospitality, listening and community living, empowering students to succeed academically and culturally.
