What kinds of unique opportunities are available to students in your classes or department? Two (of many) opportunities immediately come to mind. On campus, our philosophy students are encouraged to join in the lunchtime conversations that take place at the Philosophers' Table, an informal, student-centered venue that has students debating topics ranging from the freedom of the will to the military draft. Off-campus, Saint Michael's been able to send a number of our students to present their work at an annual Undergraduate Philosophy Conference outside Portland, Oregon; here, these students have presented their work and forged professional relationships with motivated undergraduates from colleges and universities across the nation.
