About Student Services
Student Services is a multi-disciplinary team of professionals and educators. We share the task of developing and maintaining a community in which students learn and grow within the classroom and outside of it.
Marianopolis is a community that sees 1,800 students come in and out of its doors everyday. Let’s harness this tremendous potential.
Drop by and see us on the first floor of the A-wing for information on: Counselling, Health Services, Intercollegiate and Intramural Sports, Student Clubs, Part-Time Jobs, Student Government and a whole lot more.

Registration for intramurals takes place each semester. Read the What's up and look for the posters!
We encourage you to participate in or start up a sports club. Latin dance, badminton, and floor hockey have been successful. Students wishing to organize any sports activity should speak with the Sports Animator.

Extra-curricular participation is a vital part of Marianopolis. For this reason, the College employs Student Life Animators and offers two free periods per week for special activities. Animators inform students about available resources and encourage the development of new activities. Their goals are to improve the quality of life for students outside the classroom and to develop leadership skills.
Each year, around 70 student clubs allow students to express their creativity and convictions in fields as diverse as the environment, arts and crafts, math, religion, culture and politics. See the What's Up for more information.
All students, faculty and staff interested in organizing a special event should get in touch with the Student Life Animators. This will ensure the support needed to make it a success, and will avoid conflict with other activities.
The Student life Animators are:
- Resources to all students for the organization of clubs and activities
- Responsible for student government (Congress)
- Available to organize special events: Winter Carnival, International Day, BBQ's Comedy, Charity drives, Spring Fest, Dances, Talent Show and much more.
- Organizers for Open House, graduation, etc.

So drop in any time!
Campus Ministry
Campus Ministry and Student Life animator: Sharon Rankin
Room A-160 ext 243
s.rankin@marianopolis.edu
This student-oriented service provides resources, a meeting space and an opportunity to explore religious and spiritual concerns. With the support of an inter-faith team, the Campus Minister assists students of all religions (and those searching) and offers a chance to participate in a variety of activities on issues such as social justice, global awareness, peace and development. Voluntarism and an interest in social action are promoted through projects such as fund-raising, food and clothing drives, blood drives and work with community organizations.
Hillel, Catholics in Action, and the Marianopolis Christian Fellowship have animators who meet on campus weekly. As well, the Muslim Students Association and Chinese Christian Club provide activities and support. Referrals to resources of other faiths are available from this office.
Campus Ministry encourages students to take a serious look at their lifestyles and commitment to the world around them. It provides a place to come together and share friendships, to unload without being judged, to discuss current issues in a religious context and to act upon social concerns.
