            Also, I wanted to remind students about the junior year service-learning program. During the junior year, students are asked to work on a social action project. The hours performed for junior year are completed after discerning the topic in class. Therefore, students have to perform their hours during the academic calendar. Service during the summer is encouraged, but will not count toward the required service learning program.

Yours in Christ,

Tim Forbes
