Alvernia prepares students for successful careers and to become engaged citizens by integrating an emphasis on ethics, principles, and social justice that flows from our Franciscan heritage. Service to others is deeply embedded in our Franciscan heritage and remains an important part of our educational mission.
As an Alvernia student, you'll get involved in service projects with our community-based partner organizations, which operate food banks, run mentoring programs, improve the environment, promote social justice, and support other important causes.
Alvernia embraces service learning for what it does for others and for what it can do for you as a student. We emphasize the education of the whole person and encourage you to discover a sense of self and a strong work ethic as to fully develop your unique gifts.
