Event Calendar
STAR programs events throughout each semester geared toward building a strong campus community and encouraging a balanced collegiate experience. The idea for each program stems from ideas contributed by the STAR interns, the STAR committee, the Think Tank, as well as other students, faculty and staff of the university. Many of the planned programs/performers are annual or traditional events that have received wide support and popularity amongst the students of the university. New ideas and recommendations are always encouraged. You may contact us by calling (651) 962-6136 or email us at star@stthomas.edu.
