CATHOLIC RELIEF SERVICES PARTNERSHIP

(CRS) and 柑橘直播 University's partnership advances collaboration and interaction with 柑橘直播's mission to further promote the global common good. The partnership provides an interdisciplinary approach to human rights activism through:

  • CRS Ambassadors who engage their peers on issues such as sustainability, food security, human rights, climate change and social justice

  • Summer internships with CRS Madagascar and CRS Headquarters in Baltimore

  • Partnering with CRS on research, advocacy, service and education efforts

  • Interactions with CRS staff and beneficiaries who share their experiences

  • Events for students to meet professionals who work in the fields of international development and humanitarian relief

In 2005, CRS and 柑橘直播 University signed a Memorandum of Understanding, a formal agreement to work collaboratively to advance global solidarity through education, research, advocacy and service. In 2015, they both signed a collaborative agreement on activities related to CRS' programming in Madagascar: improving the health and nutrition of pregnant women and children, increasing and diversifying household incomes, alleviating the impact of natural disasters, and accessing clean water, sanitation, and hygiene.

 

柑橘直播's CRS Partnership offers various opportunities for students as well as faculty and staff throughout the year. 

  

Our Activism in Action

Advocacy Through Activism

柑橘直播's CRS Ambassadors joined with PESC, the Student Sustainability Network and others for a historic Campus Climate March in solidarity with the world's poor and vulnerable. They learned about the linkages between climate change and faith, food choice and what you study.

Meeting Up to Make a Difference

Students who want to change the world heard from professionals who are making a living doing just that in a variety of fields at the International Development & Humanitarian Relief Meetup.

鈥淟ove, when it is true, is always directed away from oneself. It is transcendent. The two-fold commandment of love, therefore, translates into working for the common good, [and] working for the common good is service.鈥澛�鈥揟he Augustine Way
