Interested in being part of an exciting new approach to the engagement portion of Prologues, Transitions and Viewpoint (PTV) — the orientation program for incoming first-year students on the McNichols Campus?
We are reimagining the engagement portion using the “Immersion Day” model developed by University Ministry. While service remains an important component of PTV, the new approach will include community engagement elements to introduce students to Detroit and the amazing organizations and creative ideas used to address particular challenges.
Faculty and staff who participate may use Mission Leave to get paid for their involvement. Learn more about Mission Leave.
A planning meeting will be held between May 5 and May 15 to explain the new approach and begin developing plans. If you are interested, please share your availability during that time frame.
We are also seeking faculty and staff willing to assist on one or both mornings of PTV, August 26 and/or 27.
If you are interested or have any questions, please contact Dr. Tim Hipskind at hipskijt@udmercy.edu or 313-993-2003.
