One of the themes of our exchange with UA Wilmington is "Serviam", the Ursuline motto "I will serve." Before coming to Dallas, our Delawarean sisters told us that they would be interested in learning about Serviam here at UA Dallas and learning about some of the "Texas" Serviam opportunities. So, today, our guests had a full day of Serviam activities.
Because our guests have just arrived, first thing this morning, we took a few minutes out for introductions over the PA system and for a school tour.

Our first Serviam activity was contributing to an ongoing project led by UA faculty member, Ms. Buxkemper. The goal is to provide headbands and hair bows for little girls in local hospitals who are currently going through cancer treatment. All headbands from UA are donated to "Bow Dazzling" a local non-profit organization dedicated to uplifting the spirits of girls in oncology wards. Our Delaware sisters created some beautiful bows and headbands!
After an artistic morning, our Wilmington guests went to the North Texas Food Bank for a bit of a work out. At the food bank, they learned about the issue of hunger in North Texas and they organized boxes of snacks for needy families. In fact, they helped fill 12 full pallets and 398 boxes of snacks! Great work and a great day!
