An optional letter writing opportunity to help others in isolation

Given the current need for social distancing, many people are experiencing isolation in new, deeper ways. For people who were already isolated, this social distancing can be especially painful.

To respond to this reality, we will be inviting our students to engage in an optional service opportunity by writing a letter to a client or resident (or multiple clients or residents) at one of several non-profit agencies and programs.

Morning Prayers & Examens
Student led by our Campus Ministry Core Team on YouTube

Morning prayers and the Examen started online with the coordination of two seniors. Carlo Pedroncelli ’21 coordinated and posted the morning video prayers, and Donovan Jasper ’21 coordinated and posted the video Examen. When we started back to school in the hybrid model, students began leading the prayers over the P.A. system. (If you are interested in leading morning prayer or the Examen, please contact the Campus Ministry Team.) Every Monday morning we announce a challenge for the week based on the profile of the Graduate at Graduation. During the Examen on Fridays we reflect on how we have done toward that challenge and end by praying: God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; the courage to change the things I can; and the wisdom to know the difference.  In this time of uncertainty and change, this can be a life-giving prayer for us to pray weekly or maybe even daily in our own prayer lives.

Tips to Train From Home

In response to the current school closure, the Jesuit Sports Performance Team is committed to providing guidance and support not only to our students-athletes, but the entire school community while campus is closed.  Physical and mental well-being is not something to be taken for granted, therefore we will continue to reference the current research and employ standard practices to provide the very best health advice. All current research supports this balanced, minimalistic protocol for promoting comprehensive wellness and basic human performance.

Academic, College, and Wellness Counseling

Wellness

As you head into finals week next week remember that while it is important to strive for your best on your exams, your health and well-being is even more important. As the posters around campus highlight from the Impact Distracted Driving campaign: Instincts Matter. Instincts matter when you are driving, and instincts matter in our everyday experiences with ourselves and others. Pause, assess, and if necessary Speak Up.
