Arrupe Immersions 2026-2027

Trips this academic year will be in Ecuador, the Dominican Republic, Hawaii, and South Korea.  We will be focusing on social justice issues that our students,  community, and partners care most about. 

Please note: Students graduating in the Spring semester are not eligible to participate in the Summer Immersion programs. Exceptions: students who are walking in the Spring Commencement ceremony but will continue to be enrolled in either summer classes or will be a continuing student in the following Fall semester.

This program will provide an understanding of several issues (education, children, migration, race) and solutions that Jesuits, and other organizations, are providing to such problems.
