CATHOLIC RELIEF SERVICES PARTNERSHIP

(CRS) and ¸ÌéÙÖ±²¥ University's partnership advances  collaboration and interaction with ¸ÌéÙÖ±²¥'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 ¸ÌéÙÖ±²¥ 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.

 

¸ÌéÙÖ±²¥'s CRS Partnership offers various opportunities for students as well as faculty and staff throughout the year.
