The Study Abroad Fair drew a packed crowd of students eager to explore more than 70 programs, with opportunities ranging from domestic cities like Seattle to international destinations such as Florence and South Korea. Attendees heard firsthand from peers about their time abroad, sampled food from around the world, filled bags with free study-abroad merchandise, and met with faculty leading upcoming short-term attachment programs. Marist is already anticipating a record number of students studying abroad in spring 2026. Learn more about our top-rated Marist Study Abroad programming here.

Droves of students gathered on the grass for Goat Yoga, hosted by Ridge Ranch and Marist Student Programming Council. The family-owned ranch brought nine gentle goats that roamed among the students as they held an overhead pose (Urdhva Hastasana) with arms lifted and palms pressed together. Ranch owner Arielle Honovich held her curious toddler while her mom, certified yoga instructor Rona Levine, guided the group through a peaceful outdoor flow filled with smiles and calm energy.

The event presented four playful black lab mixes named Frankenstine, Pennywise, Krueger, and Clarisa, all ready for adoption just in time for spooky season! Students also hosted an autumn-themed bake sale to raise money for the animal rescue and promote adoption of local furry friends.

Marist student Jazmin Khraishi '26 recently co-authored a publication with Dr. Christina Fields in the New York State Foundations of Education Association’s Educational Abundance journal. Their article, “A Call for Inclusion: The Impact of Ethnic Identity Addressivity in Shaping Future Educators,” explores the importance of inclusivity, representation, and personal voice within education. Drawing on Jazmin’s own experiences and testimonies alongside academic research, the piece highlights how ethnic identity shapes the classroom and future of teaching. For Jazmin, the project blended her passions of education and creative writing, while also marking her first academic publication.
