In 2009 Saint Mary's launched a six-week summer practicum
program working with the Sisters of the Holy Cross in Kyarusozi, Uganda.This program is currently only for Education
and Nursing majors, although it may expand. It is an opportunity for students to live and work
directly with the Sisters of the Holy Cross and immerse themselves in the local
community offering skilled assistance in education and nursing.
Students take a one-credit course on East
African History and Culture on site the first week and then a five-credit practicum course
for the rest of the six weeks, with one overnight outing in a game park midway
through.These courses will have both an
on-site supervisor and a faculty member at Saint Mary's who will correspond
electronically. Students should have
rising Senior status in order to apply, and a 2.5 GPA.
