Student Orientation to Service (S.O.S.) is a unique service and educational opportunity in which a small group of incoming students, student leaders, and two administrators explore the issues, concerns, and realities of people who are materially poor and/or homeless in Baltimore City. The experience includes service and social activities; reflections and discussions on the service experience; interaction with Loyola students and staff who are committed to community service and the pursuit of social justice; input from experienced service providers who know the issues and the people; and selected videos and readings. The group stays in a safe, simple place in the heart of Baltimore City. S.O.S. is for you if you want to begin or to continue your involvement in service. You’ll have the opportunity to meet other members of your class who share your interest and get a head start on learning about the many wonderful service opportunities available to you in Baltimore as a Loyola student. Come along on S.O.S. and begin to live the Jesuit motto “men and women for and with others”. Date: Sunday, August 23 - Wednesday, August 26 Cost: $80 (Scholarships available if financial need is present.) Maximum Number of Participants: 13 people Application Process: Please write your answers to the following questions to help us select this year’s S.O.S. group. 1.
