The campus celebration began in 1908, when a group of Rolla students declared that St. Patrick was the patron saint of engineers. St. Pat’s has since grown to encompass a full week of events, as well as campus traditions that begin in early March.
The schedule for the St. Pat’s celebration at Missouri S&T is as follows:
• March 4-7: Snake Invasion (students club plastic snakes on campus with large decorative sticks called shillelaghs)
• March 9: Coterie St. Pat’s Ball at the Havener Center.
