Intersectional Immersion Day offers service experience for students, Jan. 20

All students are invited to join University Ministry and Titan Equity Nourish Network (TENN) on Monday, Jan. 20 for Intersectional Immersion Day, our first monthly Immersion Day of 2025! The event will take place from 9:30 am to 4:30 pm, starting at the Mercy Gathering Place in Shiple Hall.

From there we will travel to Zaman International in nearby Inkster, Mich. This organization is committed to facilitating change and advancing the lives of marginalized women and children by providing a variety of housing, food and employment needs for many women, particularly female immigrants, in the metro Detroit area.

There will be educational, reflective and service-based portions of the day. Lunch, snacks and transportation will be provided to all participants. Please note, this event coincides with Martin Luther King Day, and there are no classes that day.

Be sure to register by Jan. 15 to secure your spot or be added to the waitlist.

For any questions, please contact Associate University Minister Becky Vires at rvires@udmercy.edu or visit the University Ministry office in the Lower Level of the Student Union across from the Bookstore. We look forward to seeing you there!
