Collegium's 2026 colloquy cohort
The labyrinth created at UP for the colloquy
74 participants and staff enjoyed a week of Pacific Northwest hospitality at the University of Portland, host of the 2026 summer colloquy. As usual, the small groups were the beating heart of the experience, with talks from Maureen O’Connell and Simon Aihiokhai to ponder. Innovations this year included a “Catholic Cineplex” experience where people chose among three different films to view and discuss, and a “Choose Your Own Adventure” exploring a panoply of Portland delights. The UP grounds crew even created a bespoke labyrinth for us to use throughout the week (pictured). While we’re savoring these happy memories, plans are well underway for summer 2027 in Worcester, MA at College of the Holy Cross, June 4-11.
