WWW.MANCHESTER.EDU/OSD/CSO 1 Ability and Conviction TAKING EDUCATION BEYOND THE WALLS OF THE CLASSROOM

The Center for Service Opportunities invites you to push the boundaries of your classroom and into the neighborhoods of North Manchester, Fort Wayne and beyond. Come and enter the lives of those who live and study and work here.

Through the years, thousands of students have taken part in the numerous opportunities off ered through the Center for Service Opportunities and our many community partners. Each student has made an important diff erence.

Often this service involvement, and the learning that comes through it, transforms you. In turn, this transformation allows you to be an impressive agent of transformation in others’ lives. This is seen during and long after your time at Manchester University.

The Mission Statement at Manchester University states:

Manchester University respects the infi nite worth of every individual and graduates persons of ability and conviction who draw upon their education and faith to lead principled, productive, and compassionate lives that improve the human condition.

A portion of the Values Statement at Manchester University states:

• Service, because committing self in service to others connects faith with action, and abilities with convictions;

• Community, because a positive community sharpens self-identity, promotes acceptance of the demands of responsible citizenship, and transforms confl ict into mutual respect.

Be a part of the transformation to which we are called. Give yourself away. One or more of the opportunities on these pages could quite possibly change you forever.
