Augustine Experience
The Augustine Hall Living Learning Community focuses on the integration of Faith, Academics, and Life.
 
Academics
In the fall semester students register for a paired course (Philosophy of the Human Person / Teachings of the Church); the spring semester course is Mapping the Catholic Cultural Landscape — a multi-disciplinary introduction to the Catholic intellectual tradition.
 
Community Life

On Thursday nights, residents of Augustine Hall share a community meal, discuss issues pertinent to their college life, and celebrate Mass together.  Each week a different apartment is responsible for preparing the meal for the community.
 
The Service
Each semester residents of Augustine Hall have 15 hours of required community service. Some of the service projects we do are: Catholic Charities' Children and Family Services, Immigration and Refugee Services, and Advocacy; St. Vincent de Paul Thrift Stores, tutoring, and child care; UST Campus Ministry retreats, campus events, bible studies.
