Immersed
in Meaning
Boston
Seminar
Dates: May 4-10, 2007
Boston.
. . a place of fierce loyalty and courageous independence. A good place
to go to think about our connections to others and our response. We're
going to take a close look at health care and work with agencies that
serve people who are sick and hungry. We'll learn about what Massachusetts
has done to share the social costs of health care and expand insurance
coverage to all. We'll also take time to reflect and look ahead. While
we're doing all that, we'll be having a great time with good friends.
Come along!

San Francisco
Seminar 2005
It was a wonderful
time in a beautiful city. Through service at St. Anthony's Foundation

Living History:
A Journey Through the Civil Rights Movement
 It's
our history. Regardless of where you're from, the Civil Rights movement
is our history. It changed the country and the world, but it happened
right here. Take a road trip with this one-hour course that will take
you to the places where ordinary people made history. We will speak with
many people whose lives are our legacy and reflect upon where our history
leads.
The trip in January
2003 was a great success and provided students an opportunity to immerse
themselves in a breadth of learning about the people, the social action,
and the social needs that shaped the Civil Rights Movement and how they
continue to be with us today.

New York Seminar
2003
The New York Seminar
in 2003 was a memorable experience. Here's one comment from a student
that says it all: "Words can't describe the impact that this trip
has had on my life. Being able to combine faith and work with the lasting
desire for reconciliation among others is an idea that has contributed
to a spark of hope that love and understanding are still prevalent."
