Human beings migrate for freedom\, safety\, family\, and for new opportunities. In a similar way\, movement is the natural state of so many living things.  Migratory birds\, fish\, insects\, and wildlife have adapted to migrate with the rhythm of changing seasons and environmental conditions.  Truly\, migration connects our world in all its wonderful diversity and complexity! \nGeorgian Court University’s Critical Concern for 2023-2024 is Immigration.  We will broadly examine this Critical Concern through the topic of migration which is a focus of Mercy Global Action.  As people of mercy\, when we see the suffering of those who must be on the move\, we are called to compassion. \nSchedule of Events\n\n\n\n\n Monday\, March 18th\n Theme: “I was a stranger and you welcomed me.”\n\n\n 9:00 amMercy on the Move: Day 1\n Via Email\n A morning reflection on migration for the GCU community \n\n\n Mar 18 - 21Sock and Underwear Drive\n Donation bins located in Mercy\, Raymond\, Jeffries Halls\, and all CCW events\n Beginning today\, GCU will collect socks and underwear for migrants who have nothing but the clothes on their backs.
