Detroit Mercy group travels abroad for Catherine McAuley, Sisters of Mercy tour

A group of 15 from the University, which included students, faculty, staff and alumni visited Ireland from May 24-31 to learn about the life, work and history of Catherine McAuley and the Sisters of Mercy.

The group was led by McAuley School of Nursing Professor Andrea Kwasky and Associate Professor Mary Serowoky.

The Mercy Heritage Tour significantly enriched participants’ understanding of the role of McAuley in shaping the student experience and educational foundation of College of Health Professions and McAuley School of Nursing graduates.

Faculty, students and alumni participants from CHP were exposed to an international perspective of healthcare as it relates to the college’s objectives during the international experience in Dublin.
