Letter to the Editor | Monday, September 16, 2019

When people ask me how my summer was, I still cannot physically describe many of the moments and experiences that I had. Yes, it was an amazing opportunity where I was pushed beyond my comfort zone to learn more about the world that I live in, but I can’t really explain more than that —

Finding your passion

Letter to the Editor | Wednesday, October 10, 2018

I have no idea what I want to do with my life. Sometimes, I’m able to think up a possible post-graduate plan and career, but most times I just get lost in my thoughts and end up scrapping every plan. And living in Bangladesh for two months didn’t lay out the rest of my life

The value of an ISSLP

Letter to the Editor | Wednesday, October 10, 2018

I think the International Summer Service Learning Program (ISSLP) has probably been one of the best experiences I have ever had. Initially, I participated in the ISSLP because I had never left the country before, and I thought it was a great way to do service — after all, I really enjoyed my Summer Service

Dreaming of reality

Letter to the Editor | Thursday, September 27, 2018

I remember the first time I saw the wall in a dream. It was about five weeks after I had relocated for the summer through the Center for Social Concern’s International Summer Service Learning Program and I was finally feeling confident enough in my daily life that it was becoming my dreamscape. The adjustment had

“So we talked about abortion and marriage and re “So we talked about abortion and marriage and religious freedom, and I don’t know how we could not talk about it. I mean, we have to be authentic teachers. We’re not going to be silent about the truths that we hold dear.”

Joseph R. Biden has become the second Catholic President in United States history, but his position on abortion is “one that cannot be condoned” according to Rev. Robert Dowd. 

“Other bishops think that, because he’s a conscientious Catholic whose faith is obviously important to him, we should strike a more positive tone, particularly at the outset of his presidency. After all, in many ways Biden’s positions are more in line with Catholic teaching than Trump’s, particularly when it comes to migrants, refugees, climate issues, poverty and inequality,” Dowd continued.
