  • University Ministry launches blog highlighting student reflections on service immersion

    Tuesday May 27, 2025

    An image of several people crouched under words on a black wall. The words are a quote from Martin Luther King, Jr., "...until justice rolls down like waters and righteousness like a mighty stream."University Ministry is excited to launch a highlighting stories from student experiences of service immersion with UDM.

    Titled “Act Justly, Love Mercy, Walk Humbly,” after the biblical passage Micah 6:8, this blog serves as a record of students’ experiences, a way of sharing their thoughts with the larger UDM community and a place for students to learn from one another as people seeking justice.

    Service immersions are key experiences of a transformative Mercy and Jesuit education, rooted in service and social justice. These experiences include serving in shelters, soup kitchens, after school projects, urban farms and many other important community-based projects. They integrate cultural learning, relationship building, presentations from local community leaders, prayer and reflection. They offer a life-long path for our students to become “men and women with and for others,” and we believe that these experiences form student leaders who have critical minds and compassionate hearts.

    The first blog post comes from senior Tevon Conrad, reflecting on his spring break trip to Montgomery, Ala.—a historic hub for both slavery and the Civil Rights Movement.
