Why is participation in beyond-the-classroom activities required in Montserrat?
Liberal arts education in the Jesuit tradition is about education the whole person. The beyond-the-classroom activities in Montserrat allow the students and faculty in each cluster to come together a few times per semester to engage in dialogue and exchange ideas. Such activities and events enhance the learning that goes on in each seminar while promoting the integration of living, learning, and doing, which is an essential part of Montserrat.
