The St. Catherine University annual activities fair gives students the opportunity to learn more about the variety of student clubs and organizations available to enhance their university experience.

The St. Catherine University Higher Learning Commission Steering Committee seized the opportunity to educate students about the University and accreditation during the event, held over the midday break on the University’s quad on the St. Paul campus.

More than 400 students attended the fair during the hour and a half and more than 130 took “The St. Kate’s Challenge,” answering three sets of three questions to enter into a prize drawing.

  •  In which year did the “College of St. Catherine” change its name to “St. Catherine University”?
Students submitted their answers and a drawing was held later for a $100 first prize and $50 second prize.
