Virtual Visit Spring 2020
We'd Still like to meet you.
So we're going to channel some Spartan grit and creativity.
Even though our favorite introductions happen face-to-face on campus, for the spring of 2020 we find ourselves in a new environment. The De Smet Jesuit community is praying for you and our world as we navigate the coronavirus pandemic, stay at home orders, and this global challenge.
That doesn't stop our excitement about future opportunities to see you in person!
We have some fun ideas for the weeks to come. For now, please submit questions you have here, browse our virtual tour options below, reach out to us, and stay connected with our online resources.
