Belonging to a Nest provides students a sense of belonging to SMCM.
Students are provided resources so that they can:
- Be academically successful
- Adhere to a healthy Seahawk lifestyle
- Connect with campus resources
- Support their community through service
About the Nests
At the Twilight Induction ceremony incoming St. Mary’s College students hear from other students about what it means to be a community member and how to be successful in their college careers. They are welcomed into their “Nestwork” their first evening. Students are challenged to chart their own course while being mindful of supporting each other. Through the “Nestwork” we foster community by grouping together students across all academic disciplines and engaging them in on-campus programming, exploration of St. Mary’s College, and our experiential learning opportunities.
