Saint Mary's Users Group (SMUG)
The Saint Mary’s User Group (affectionately known as SMUG) is made up of staff and faculty at Saint Mary’s College.
The Saint Mary’s User Group holds an annual conference each year. The purpose of the SMUG Conference is to create a platform for all of us to come together, share valuable SMC-specific information and processes, and foster open communication. It's an excellent opportunity to exchange ideas, discuss best practices, and gain a deeper understanding of the various projects and initiatives within our organization. All staff and faculty are welcome to attend and there is no fee for registration. It's a fantastic opportunity to learn, grow, and strengthen our community together. We hope to see you at the next conference!
