Hunger Week 2009 "Think Globally - Act Locally"
Hunger Week is an annual campus wide event at SAU. The week is full of
events allowing students, faculty and staff to learn more about hunger
and poverty in the world around us while working to help alleviate the
pain of hunger locally. With the difficult economic conditions of our
day, it is even more important than ever for all Ambrosians to be
involved in Hunger Week efforts this year. Look for us in the cafeteria
for more details and sign ups.
Service Trips - take place each year during breaks to offer service
opportunities to the marginalized in Appalachia, in the inner city of
Chicago, or through an expanded international service program.
Green Life - promotes awareness within the community through education
and activism to protect and restore the environment.
Amnesty International - is a worldwide campaign that works to promote
all the human rights enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human
Rights and other international standards.
Catholic Relief Services - offers international emergency relief and
anti poverty programs. Lenten Rice Bowl collection and Fast Fest
proceeds go toward their third world poverty-relief services.
Service Learning - gives students an opportunity to apply their academic
learning in a setting of community service. Students complete 25 hours
of service, participate in regular reflection periods, complete a final
project and earn a credit.
