Lauren Cannon, another first year student adds, "I wasn't really sure what to expect. I had such a beneficial experience, I signed up to volunteer on a regular basis."

Along with the twenty students who went to Don Guanella, 255 other first year students participated in 26 various community services.

Dr. Mary Laver, campus minister, explains, "We dedicated a number of sites in honor of the anniversary of Mother Cabrini's canonization of the patronage of immigrants."

The Asian Social Service, the Incarnation Church and the Mission Santa Maria were three of the services in correlation with Mother Cabrini's mission. These students' activities included everything from washing buses to interacting with Latino and Mexican immigrants. Laver continues, "This freshman class has a lot of energy, desire and excellent communication skills and has benefitted greatly from the experience. It's always a sign of success when they visit us in the [campus ministry] office and exclaim 'sign us up for more!"'
