Our Interim Director, Patrick Furlong, asks one question: Am I doing everything I can to take care of other people? Join CSA in our commitment to (virtual) service and advocacy: https://studentaffairs.lmu.edu//c/virtualcsaopportunities/

Even in a world that requires more and more virtual engagement, LMU students, staff, and faculty find ways to connect with the local community. Thanks to the Wooten Center for working with our Community Based Learning program as we all adapt to the challenges COVID-19 brings our way!
