St. Michael’s has long been recognized for its Mediaeval Studies program, which includes an impressive history of renowned professors, rich resources, and an exciting interdisciplinary and experiential approach to learning. The program is an ideal example of the humanistic values of liberal education that reflect Catholic education at its best.
Life as a Mediaeval Studies student is not only enhanced by small class sizes and access to professors, but it is further enriched via the Mediaeval Studies Undergraduate Society (MSUS), which provides regular social and academic activities for students throughout the school year. MSUS offers academic assistance and peer mentoring within the field of medieval studies and hosts campus-wide events such medieval feasts, lectures, workshops, movie nights and a masquerade ball.
This year, the highly anticipated (and since sold out!) masquerade ball returned after a Covid-induced hiatus. Students from the Medieval Studies and Celtic Studies Undergraduate Society joined faculty and friends in Father Madden hall to celebrate a return to campus and “party like it’s 999.”
