One week ago was residence move-in day at St. Mike's. Friends and parents showed up in droves with packed cars, mini fridges and heavy suitcases in tow, ready for the upcoming year. The excitement and emotions were palpable as they put their loved ones into our care to start a transformational academic journey. We checked-in with parents, asking them how they felt as their first-year students began this next big chapter in their lives.

Orientation Day 4 was hot, sunny and action packed. It started with a pep rally and the cheer competition agaist the other colleges, where St. Mike’s was definitely the loudest and most enthusiastic, outperforming everyone else (in our humble opinion). Then games and puzzles in the COOP and the Kelly Library, followed by the every popular Bed Race tryouts. In the evening Kelly’s Korner showcased the musical and comedic talents of our students. We’re tired just watching it all unfold, but super proud of our students!

At Orientation day 3, our newest St. Mike's students explored Toronto and attended mock lectures to get a taste of what's to come. But it's a good thing O-week activities moved inside because the weather turned crazy, with intense heavy rain and thunderstorms. Some people might have had issues with their rain gear (just sayin') but our resilient students ended the day creatively with Art at Night and dancing the night away at a silent disco.

A St. Mike's education can take you anywhere. In this final "Grads Talk" our most recent alumni share what's next.

What he did this summer: Dr. Francesco A. Morriello, an assistant professor in the Book & Media Studies program at St. Michael's College, spent his summer conducting archival research in Spain, working in several historic repositories, including the Archivo General de Indias in Seville Portal de Archivos Españoles: PARES and the Real Biblioteca del Palacio Real in Madrid.

Morriello's research examines print culture and communication networks among Catholic missionaries from the 17th to the 19th centuries, tracing connections between Rome and religious orders like the Jesuits, Dominicans, and Franciscans across the Spanish and French empires.

"These print flows expose the limits of centralized imperial control, highlighting how local actors, indigenous translators, and missionaries on the ground adapted and reinterpreted mandates to suit regional realities,” he says.
