For the past 10 years, Villanova University and Cabrini College have partnered with Catholic Relief Services (CRS) to provide a tangible way for students to engage with issues that impact the world’s poor. Both Villanova University and Cabrini College celebrate the history of that 10-year commitment by renewing their memorandum of understanding with CRS in a signing ceremony today. During the past 10 years, students at both institutions have assisted CRS with a national global curriculum, traveled to Washington, DC, to lobby our nation's decision makers on legislation affecting the world’s poor, participated in the CRS Student Ambassador program and engaged in a wide range of activities.

CRS is deeply grateful for this partnership with Villanova University and Cabrini College, and their commitment to encouraging students to take an active role in the world today.
