For example, each fall a Coffee Hour will highlight harvest time in Vermont with fresh picked apples and warm apple cider. In the spring, students will enjoy snacks and foods made with fresh maple syrup. There's always a Christmas Coffee Hour. At that time students and faculty help to decorate the tree and eat fresh-baked Christmas cookies decorated by SIS students. The rich international community of Saint Michael's is also represented at Coffee Hour with a focus on ethnic celebrations.
Faculty members share festivals and foods from their own rich cultures.
Visiting SIS students will often showcase their countries with traditional music, costumes and food from their native lands.
