Although most interactions in our School of Everyday Mission (SEM) happen during online classes, the SEM experience emphasizes relationships, and students are intentional about connecting outside the classroom, whether through a lively WhatsApp chat or informal meetups.
One of these meetups is an annual Christmas party for Minnesota SEM-inarians hosted by Jessie, a third-year student. Jessie came up with the idea after the annual Fall retreat, as another occasion for in-person connection. She says, “I love throwing parties and I love bringing people together so what a good excuse to see everyone!” It’s also a good excuse for some good eating, music and white elephant gifts!
Here’s some fun photos of this year’s festivities.
