TRW Student Resources
Common during the 17th and 18th centuries in France, a salon is gathering of intellectuals (that’s you) who engage in thought provoking discussion with each other and with their social, artistic and political peers. We hold salons on four Saturday mornings during September and October. Each salon is about 2 hours and focuses on a topics such as the history of the Sisters of St. Joseph, the meaning of liberal arts, issues of diversity and civic engagement. In keeping with an earlier St. Kate's tradition, when all students were required to attend weekly convocations, the salons provide an opportunity for students to meet, discuss and learn together outside of their regular classrooms, while experiencing our beautiful campus during the weekend. It is typically required that CORE 1000 students attend 3 of 4 salons, but check with your TRW instructor for details on this unique assignment!
