St. Peter's College visit extends welcome and collaboration

March 11, St. Thomas More College (STM) staff and St. Thomas More College Students' Union (STMSU) student leaders spent the day connecting with St. Peter's College community, inviting those making the next step to Usask, to keep STM top of mind – the Catholic college on Saskatoon’s campus – as their welcoming home away from home!

STM Recruitment promoted STM offerings and benefits, while STM student leaders were able to share their experiences and student club opportunities at the College. STM’s Academic Advisor was also on hand to answer any course and degree-planning questions. The visit also included touring and learning more about the College community in Muenster.

This was a follow up to the St. Peter’s student trip to spend the day at STM in January – another collaboration between the Catholic Colleges.

Founded in 1921 by the Benedictine monks of St. Peter's Abbey, St. Peter's College in Muenster, Saskatchewan “welcomes students of all faiths and backgrounds to pursue higher education and provides opportunities to be involved in the student experience as they search for certainty and wisdom,” is shared through their website. “Today, St. Peter's College continues to be affiliated with the University of Saskatchewan. We adapt to the changing needs of our students by adding to existing programming. Building on our history and tradition, we can move ahead to the future and offer the best first year university experience to students and exceptional second year university classes.”

Moving on from their first- and second-year foundation in Muenster, STM offers a comprehensive liberal arts opportunity, as the federated Catholic college with the University of Saskatchewan (USask).  Approximately 5,700 students are registered in over 217 STM Arts & Science credit course offerings in 19 subject areas as part of their USask degrees. The College welcomes all students and values diversity. Students are challenged to grow intellectually and personally, thinking creatively and critically as they prepare to take their place in the world.
