Events

Service to Others

Students participate in a wide range of activities and events that reinforce and animate the values of the Austin Scholars program.

Mack Gives Back

Mack Gives Back is an annual event in which members of the Merrimack community perform service projects in the Greater Merrimack Valley and beyond.

Agape Latte

Agape Latte is a personal reflection about spirituality from a leader in the Merrimack College community. At one recent event, the Austin Scholars were invited to meet and chat with Boston Mayor Marty Walsh.

Service Recognition Night

Service Recognition Night highlights work and service performed by seniors, staff and freshman. Seniors are given medals to congratulate their entering into this service society at Merrimack.
