Mission Monday

How do you live JCU’s mission?

Terri Lewandowski, chair of the Mission & Identity Committee of the John Carroll University Board of Directors, shares this reflection:
“I work to live the mission by giving of the time, talent, and treasure that God has given to me. My goal is to help others to have the ability and see the value, fun, and joy of giving of their ‘3T’s’. If everyone can give just a little bit more, together we can make a better world for all.”
