It must be in our bones, or maybe our “deep heart’s core” to steal a line from Yeats. Mercyhurst students reach out to the community wherever they are. Really, it seems to be a part of who they are. They serve, even without being asked to do so.
Since arriving in Dungarvan students have visited a local nursing home, cleaned up a graveyard (with Keiko Miller), visited the local Sisters of Mercy, helped staff events at the Waterford Festival of Food, and they recently worked parking cars for a community concert starring The High Kings while simultaneously keeping the town’s little ones in order on “Bouncy Castles.” They volunteer for service and feel good about doing it. I couldn’t be more delighted. They are representing us well.
