An immersive spring break trip in El Salvador! During Merrimack`s first-ever SEND trip to El Salvador this semester, 10 students learned firsthand about the nation`s history.
While much of the trip explored El Salvador’s past, the final two days focused on the country’s hopeful future. Warriors visited El Papaturro, a rural community located in Suchitoto, where they stayed with local families. Despite some language barriers, they bonded with their host families and learned how community living sustains the small village.
Essence of Culture: Showcase of the Arts
@merrimackbsa and @mcintercultural recently hosted a showcase of fashion from diverse designers and live performances, offering students a unique opportunity to immerse themselves in the artistry and culture of the event.
The College’s annual pilgrimage to Italy turned into a once-in-a-lifetime experience thanks to an unexpected meeting with Pope Leo XIV!
Students and employees who participated in this year`s Pellegrinaggio had an impromptu audience with the Pope in the chapel at the Order of St. Augustine’s General Curia just outside the Vatican, where photos were taken and a papal blessing was bestowed.
