Our Service Projects
provide students with opportunities to build character that is
rooted in Franciscan values. These experiences of service assist
students in addressing the causes of poverty, violence, and abuse
and to keep focus on ways that will result in removing the barriers
that keep individuals on the margins of society. Many service
projects are done in collaboration with the ministries of our
sponsoring religious community, the Sisters
of Saint Francis of Philadelphia.
Campus Ministers also collaborate with other campus organizations to provide service opportunities for students. Campus Ministry co-sponsors service events with
The Institute for Sport, Spirituality and Character Development

Poverty Awareness Week |
||||||
During
this week there are many different activities and events. This
week is important because it provides an opportunity for awareness-raising within and outside the Neumann University community about
poverty and the effect it has in our world. Dates: November 11th - 16th, 2012
The theme for this year is “Come and drink from the Well." We will focus on the current wars taking place in our world over water control and how this will affect the poorest of countries and its people. There will be Fair Trade tables set up in Bachmann Main Building all week.
