Micronesian Seminar (MicSem)

Micronesian Seminar (MicSem) is a research-pastoral institute founded by the Catholic Church in 1972. Its main mission is community education, although it has engaged in social research and history. For over 25 years, MicSem has served the people of what was once the Trust Territory of the Pacific--the Federated States of Micronesia, Palau, the Marshall Islands, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands.
