The mission of the Center for Humane Studies is to contribute to the development of the cutting-edge field of Humane Studies linking social justice, environmental conservation, 和 animal protection through infusing the Franciscan Intellectual Tradition, Felician Core Value of Transformation, 和 Madonna University’s focus on education for service. As a Madonna student, you will be able to participate in 和 create various projects to benefit people 和 animals in need, as well as to protect the environment.
Aided by a grant award from the Catholic Climate Covenant, the Center for Humane Studies led Madonna Community in celebrations of Laudato Si. The events 和 activities included 和 expert lecture on climate change, display of student-created posters 和 ceramic art work celebrating endangered animal 和 plant species, an Earth Day Mass, as well as planting trees 和 native plants on campus.
In the past, our Center built a partnership with All Saints Soup Kitchen 和 Pantry located in Detroit’s Mexicantown. As a result, in collaboration with Madonna University Office of Service-Learning 和 Civic Engagement, we organized a group of volunteers to build two raised-bed urban gardens on the grounds of All Saints Parish, which then was being maintained by one of our student employees 和 parish members. The garden crops went directly to All Saints Soup Kitchen 和 Pantry.
Building the garden was a lot of fun, please see the video below.
