What happens when Benedictine values meet 21st-century innovation?

At Saint Martin’s University, it looks like students coming together to solve real-world challenges with creativity, purpose and a commitment to serving others.

During the Hackathon for Good, students from business, engineering, and computer science collaborated across disciplines, demonstrating the Benedictine values of community, hospitality, respect for the dignity of every person and stewardship. The Hackathon for Good was a powerful reflection of what makes a Saint Martin’s education distinctive: pairing innovation and critical thinking with values that encourage students to lead with purpose and make a meaningful difference in the world.
