Detroit Mercy staff and faculty can choose the day that fits best in their schedule, with some going both days. Others say they can go either day, which is also very helpful. You do not need to bring anything special, just your desire to accompany our new students in this part of their introduction to Detroit Mercy&#8217;s Mission.<\/p>\n<p>Most of the service groups this year will be clearing overgrown lots in the Fitzgerald neighborhood just west of the McNichols Campus. Some will do similar work in the Martin Park neighborhood east of the McNichols Campus, in Palmer Park, or at a retirement home near Marygrove. Some groups will be working at one of two schools (Gesu or Palmer Park Prep Academy) and at two youth empowerment sites run by Brilliant Detroit. Groups will also assist in the gardens that are affiliated with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.udmercy.edu\/about\/mission-vision\/lead-serve\/tenn.php\">Titan Equity Nourish Network (TENN)<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>If interested, please contact Sr. Karen Dunville, RSM, at <a href=\"mailto:dunvilmk@udmercy.edu\">dunvilmk@udmercy.edu<\/a> or by phone at 248-880-5061.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Schedule for each day (Wednesday, Aug. 21 and\/or Thursday, Aug. 22):<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>8 a.m. \u2014 Breakfast<\/li>\n<li>8:30 a.m. \u2014 Orientation at pre-reflection<\/li>\n<li>9:25 a.m. \u2014 Departure for service sites<\/li>\n<li>10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. \u2014 Work at sites<\/li>\n<li>1 p.m. \u2014 Back to McNichols Campus for lunch<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>All will meet in the Fountain Lounge of the Student Union each day.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-17508\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sites.udmercy.edu\/campusconnection\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/106\/2024\/08\/PTV-promo-24.png?resize=993%2C470&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Three photos of UDM students wearing University of Detroit Mercy t-shirts and participating in PTV outdoors.
