Sister Dorothy Stang, SNDdeN, '49 once said, "Together we can make a difference bringing peace, joy, caring love to our world that is losing sight of our guiding star-the goodness of the real God."
The Class of 2015 has exemplified this thought with their Senior Capstone Projects. Tonight, the students will share the impact they have made on various justice issues throughout the year and present their projects at our annual Stang Symposium.
Many groups went out into the Dayton community to help bring local awareness to social justice and global issues. The groups this year have done an outstanding job with their projects and have shined the light on topics which are not usually discussed. You can read about just some of this year's capstone group projects here.
We invite you, your family and friends to the Stang Symposium which will begin at 7 p.m. in the auditorium. Attending this event is also a great opportunity for the Class of 2016 to start generating ideas about their projects for next year.
