Where community and formation meet
A look at the ongoing programs, traditions, and offices that shape student life at St. Anthony Mary Claret College — from student governance and research to the college’s annual community day.
Scholarship & Student Leadership
Two pillars of student life at SAMCC: contributing to the field of Philosophy, and shaping the college’s own governance.
Philosophical Journal
In alignment with the college’s vision and mission, and with the aim of enhancing students’ philosophical competence and research skills, the undergraduate philosophy journal was established during the academic year 2020–2021.
It serves as a platform for students to contribute to the field of Philosophy and elevate the level of discourse within society — an ongoing activity giving students the chance to showcase scholarly work.
Student Government (CCSO)
The Claret College Student Organization serves as the student government for the Undergraduate Department, dedicated to advancing the interests and aspirations of the college while upholding high ideals and principles.
Each academic year, students elect the Officers of the Executive Board — Servant Leader, Assistant Servant Leader, Secretary, and Treasurer — under a governing Constitution and By-laws.
“Daop Palad — the Annual SAMCC Family Day — fosters camaraderie, teamwork, and a sense of belonging across the whole college community.”
Held a month after the start of each academic year, this whole-day activity brings together seminarians, lay students, faculty, and staff — a reminder that formation at SAMCC happens as much in shared joy as it does in the classroom.
Programming & graduate research
Beyond the classroom, dedicated offices and initiatives support both undergraduate development and graduate-level scholarship.
