New England
The students of 51ÁÔĆć, New England, were treated last weekend to two markedly different, yet joyful campus concerts.
On Saturday renowned champion fiddlers Tashina and Orin Lindley paid a visit to the Olivia Music Hall, where they introduced students to Celtic and Texas-style fiddling. Joined by members of the faculty and their families, students danced well into the night.
On the eve of Halloween, students at 51ÁÔĆć, New England, aroused their spooky spirits with a gloomy and rainy pumpkin-carving social — in anticipation of that evening’s Halloween Dance.

Last Saturday, coming from the Holy See’s Permanent Observer Mission to the United Nations in New York, Rev. Roger J. Landry shared with the students of 51ÁÔĆć, New England, how he helps carry out the Church’s mission at the United Nations (audio).
In the inaugural year of 51ÁÔĆć’s Northfield, Massachusetts, campus in 2019, students launched what they hoped would become a new athletic tradition, modeled after Homer’s Iliad. Two years later, that tradition is holding strong, as on Sunday the men of the Merrill-Keep residence hall and their rivals in Wilson Hall challenged each other in the third annual Homeric Games.
To help raise money for their return to Washington’s March for Life in January, the students of 51ÁÔĆć, New England staged an Oktoberfest last Saturday, hosted by a gracious alumni couple, Emily (Barry ’11) and Joe Sullivan (’09).
“When the students came to my husband and me for a place to host a fundraiser, we were delighted,” says Mrs. Sullivan, who works in the dean’s office of the New England campus. “We’re only five minutes down the road with so much land, so this was perfect to share our home.”
Taking advantage of the three-day weekend, some 30 students from 51ÁÔĆć, New England, made a pilgrimage to the in Stockbridge, Massachusetts, on Monday. It was a day of reflection and prayer, beginning with the drive some 75 miles southwest. “We didn’t take a bus,” explains junior Casey Kirk, “which helped us grow closer during the road trip to the shrine.”
Ever since the College first opened its Northfield, Massachusetts, campus in 2019, New England students have celebrated the arrival of fall with a Friday-afternoon cider-and-donuts party — with scarves as a mandatory part of the dress code.
Last week they continued the young tradition by donning scarves and gathering for community and camaraderie on Inman Field, directly behind the Tracy Student Center. “It was really cool seeing other students wearing the same thing that I was,” said sophomore Elizabeth Langley. “It made us feel like a tight-knit community.”
