Things to Do on Campus

Join a thriving, dynamic campus community with limitless opportunities to be active and engaged. The University of Mary offers a vibrant student life experience with a wide variety student organizations, athletics, volunteer experiences, campus-based ministry and worship (including daily mass), student recreation, and more.

Student Organizations

Students gain leadership and career-related experience through Mary’s 30-plus student organizations that range from professional groups and student government to planning campus events that reflect the University’s Benedictine values.

"When a whole campus strives to live out the Benedictine values in the classroom, in residence life, and in day-to-day activities, the effect is profound.”

 
Jacqueline Callens, Nursing major, Class of 2018
