We’re here to answer your questions from questions about residence halls and campus spaces to where to go when you need help and, most importantly, what's on the menu, we have the answers.

Campus Living
Whether it’s accounting or swing dancing, Spanish or Habitat for Humanity, engineering or “Pizza and Politics,” Saint Vincent has something for you. Maybe it’s the Student Government Association that interests you, or maybe it's pawing and viposting in a fencing match. Or, maybe it's joining your friends at a lecture; concert; or one of the many fun events, parties, or mystery trips scheduled by our award-winning Activities Programming Board. Whatever it is, you'll find your people and your passion.
