What Does it Mean to be a Regula Scholar?
Madison Filipiak '17 discusses what it means to her to be a Regula Scholar here at Mount Union.The Ralph and Mary Regula Center for Public Service and Civic Engagement at the University of Mount Union was created and inspired by retired Congressman Ralph Regula to provide numerous community service programs as well as opportunities for students to seek and prepare for careers in public service.
Mount Union students have a strong reputation for being dedicated to community service. Here are just a few examples of opportunities where you might find yourself giving back:
Relay for Life: Relay for Life is an overnight event held in the Peterson Fieldhouse designed to celebrate survivorship and raise money for research and programs for the American Cancer Society. Members of teams take turns walking or running laps, and each team tries to keep at least one team member on the track at all times. Events are held nationwide, and Mount Union hosted its 2017 event on March 24-25. Check out the event Facebook page!
Up 'til Dawn: Mount Union has raised more than $415,000.00 for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital by participating in Up 'til Dawn over the past eight years. In the fall, students form teams to send letters to family and friends on behalf of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. Then, in the spring, students once again come together to celebrate the mission of St. Jude as well as the work they have done for the cause by revealing the total money raised by Mount Union at the Finale event. Find out more about this fun annual fundraising event!
Regula Center: The Regula Center is home to a variety of community based opportunities that allow students to prepare for careers in public service or simply get involved in the community.
