Freshman Year

"Love begins at home...and it is not how much we do but how much love we put into that action." - Mother Theresa

The theme of Freshman Service is “Family.” In their Global Studies classes students reflect on the nature of family and their own role within their families. Over the course of the year students are required to complete sixteen hours of service, and are encouraged to do many of those hours with family members - parents, siblings, grandparents, aunts or uncles.

Global Studies instructors facilitate students’ projects and reflection; they also establish due dates for service assignments. A directory of opportunities is given to the students in class and is available on the Christian Service website; additionally, new opportunities are posted in classrooms, in the service office and online. Students cannot earn a grade in Global Studies without completing their Christian Service requirement.
