For the 2018-19 academic year, the Sisters of Mercy West Midwest Community has generously gifted SXU a $25,000 grant to support the Mercy Scholarship Program. Selected students will receive a $4,500 scholarship, and are expected to gain a greater understanding of the social concern of human trafficking in the first semester, and hosting a panel discussion in the second semester that will be open to the public.

Starting in September, SXU will welcome another alumnus back to campus, this time in the form of a priest! Fr. Vito Martinez, ’14, will be presiding at SXU's McDonough Chapel during Thursday Masses. While he did not originally plan for a life in the priesthood, Martinez found refuge and contentment through his connections with the Capuchin Franciscans during a time of self-discovery.
