Getting Involved
There are many ways to plunge into the Saint Mary’s community and meet people, from choosing among the more than 35 student organizations, to doing community service or studying abroad. Here's how to get involved.
Who knows where SMC will take you? All we know is you should definitely dive in—it’s worth it.

More of a social justice and community service type?
- The Catholic Institute for Lasallian Social Action (aka CILSA), the Intercultural Center, Women's Resource Center or one of our Student Awareness/Activism clubs might be more up your alley.
