LMU is celebrating 100 years of educating men and women for others in the Jesuit and Marymount traditions. The university will include a Centennial Day of Service during the year long celebration.
Join alumni and friends for an LMU Alumni for Others service project in New York City. The service project will take place at HandCrafting Justice (HCJ).
