The Campus Tapestry

Tapestry is often used to describe an intricate combination of elements that come together to form a unified whole. Marist celebrates diversity, equity, and inclusion – and is building an environment where all feel welcomed, valued, respected, and heard. The Campus Tapestry features the holidays, holy days, and observances that will be highlighted by the College throughout 2024.
