Rudy MoleyOn Campus, Student Life

Perhaps you already know that Marianopolis College has more student clubs than any other school of its kind. But did you know that it’s the only college to holds two universal breaks, also called Activity Period, every Tuesday and Thursday?

Activity Period is an awesome opportunity for students to hear from world-renowned guest speakers, play intramural sports, participate in clubs, discover new interests and hone different skills outside of class.

“I enjoy walking around the College during Activity Period because there are so many different things going on,” says Student Affairs Director Leticia Yansen. “Guest lectures from industry leaders; workshops about important societal issues; games and friendly competitions; sports teams and dance clubs practicing; students studying in the Library and some just hanging out on the front lawn during nice weather!”

Here’s what Marianopolis students said when they were asked what Activity Period means to them:

  • “Meet friends”
  • “Do homework”
  • “Socialize”
  • “Go to club events”
  • “Talk with friends”
  • “Clear my mind from my studies”
  • “Have fun”
  • “Practice my musical instrument”
  • “Relax”
  • “Meet with my teachers”
  • “Hit the Library”
  • “See my teachers during their office hours”
  • “Take a break from classes and relax”
  • “Go to Monkland Avenue or Sherbrooke Street to eat”
  • “Empty my mind”
  • “Go to the Fitness Centre and get in a good workout”
  • “Rest time!”
  • “Napping”
  • “Time for clubs!”
  • “Extracurricular activities and fun”
