STUDENT PUBLICATION
Salvia: The Student Academic Journal highlights the academic work students do for their courses, such as term papers, short essays, lab reports, presentations, explications, and discussion papers. It also raises awareness of student excellence for the wider St. Mary's community and the non-academic public. Salvia is published annually and is on sale for $5.00.

THE STAR
The icon complementing the name St. Mary's is based on the letter "M" for Mary. Four qualities of Mary (simplicity, clarity, purity and confidence) are each represented by one of the four letter M's. As these four letters are brought together, toward the centre, they begin to form a simple framework of a star that is integral to the motto of St. Mary's: "In your light we shall see light." (Psalm 36:9).
