Pre-Law Society Holiday Service Party

The University of Scranton’s Pre-Law Society had a large turnout on Dec. 6 for its Holiday Service Party. The Society’s officers set a goal of collecting 50 toys. Members rose to the challenge by donating a total of 114 toys for the Catherine McAuley Center’s visiting families. The Catherine McAuley Center assists women and children experiencing homelessness and provides them with temporary shelter and support systems to regain independence. This year’s donation drive was a great way to provide those in need with support during the holidays. 

The Society has done more this year to make it onto the "nice list." Members also signed over 140 handwritten Christmas cards for resident Veterans of the Gino Merli Center. Students wrote thoughtful messages thanking veterans and wishing them a wonderful holiday season. The University of Scranton recognizes all that veterans have sacrificed for this country. The Pre-Law Society thought this would be a great way to show their support and gratitude. Thanks to the efforts of the officers and advisor, Attorney Jason Shrive, the Society was able to complete their first community service project since COVID-19 affected our area.
