Misericordia University celebrated Mercy Week and the heritage of the Religious Sisters of Mercy, who founded the institution in 1924, by hosting a Service Fair in the Banks Student Life Center. The annual fair gives students an opportunity to meet with representatives from social service agencies that work in the local community and have a need for volunteers and support.
The agencies represented at the fair included Big Brothers Big Sisters, Hospice of the Sacred Heart, Ruth’s Place, Catherine McAuley House, Girl Scouts, Meadows Nursing and Rehabilitation Center, Wyoming Valley Children’s Association, Junior Achievement, Celtic Healthcare and the United Way of Wyoming Valley. The Misericordia departments of Student Activities, Service-Learning and Community Outreach, along with the Insalaco Center for Career Development, collaborated on the one-day fair.
