Established in 1987, the Project Mexico program provides students with an exciting opportunity to immerse themselves in a 10 day intense service and educational exchange with peoples and communities of Tijuana and Tecate Mexico. Students selected for this program participate in a semester of organized preparation, education, team building and fundraising, which culminates in the great annual Loyola tradition of the Project Mexico Auction. 

The 2008 Project Mexico Auction will be held on Thursday, November 20th from 4-8pm in McGuire Hall.

During their stay in Mexico, Loyola’s team of 20 sophomores, juniors and seniors along with 3 faculty/administrator/staff members, participate in community directed construction projects, commonly centered on schools, as well as cultural and social activities and education programs to engage topics such as immigration, the environment, human rights, and political and economic issues. The program also emphasizes personal reflection on the Mexico experience and its impact on one's personal and spiritual development. This reflection encourages the participant to think and feel critically about the reality they experience and to integarate it into their future life choices.
