SILICON VALLEY: Rising seniors who participate in our Silicon Valley externship program are learning first-hand about careers in the high tech sector, meeting employers and getting to network with alumni already thriving in that field. Check out the story and video here.
CLOSE COOPERATION: Recently, 1,100 Easton residents gathered in the Sports Complex for a special town meeting on a $95 million proposal for a new regional school building. Given high-voter interest, campus could accommodate the turnout. A month of detailed planning by Easton and Stonehill officials ensured the event’s success, underscoring town-gown cooperation. Find out more here.
HAMMOCK ON THE QUAD: On a recent sunny afternoon, after he set up his hammock amid the trees on Donahue Hill, Tommy Langer ’22 spent two hours there catching up on reading, all non-course related, while enjoying the panoramic views across the revitalized quad. Meet Tommy here.
FAITH JOURNEY: This coming weekend, 70 students will embark on a journey of faith by participating in a three-day, off-campus Christ Encounters Retreat (CER). Hosted by Campus Ministry, CER is student-led and with a focus on asking the big questions, digging deeper in faith, finding God’s friendship and appreciating reconciliation. The experience is a “beautiful blessing,” according Campus Minister Rev. Matt Fase, C.S.C. Learn more here.
TEAM WORK: Volleyball relies heavily on verbal communication, but Sophia Poveda ’21 struggles to hear on the court having lost 90 percent of her hearing in one ear. However, when playing, Poveda, a recent Northeast-10 player of the week, does not miss a beat because her teammates communicate via hand signals and nonverbal cues. Read her story here.
