Charity Week

Charity Week 2023: October 15th - October 21st! 

This year the junior class is donating to  A Woman’s Haven Pregnancy Center, a pregnancy center for families that are at a crossroads when dealing with familial emergencies. Some services include material assistance through supplies, family crisis intervention, parenting classes, food, housing, and other means of support. Also, they are giving to In My Shoes, a faith-based nonprofit that provides a safe, welcoming community for women who are pregnant and homeless or at risk of homelessness. We are excited to work with these charities, and help their fight against abortion!

One of the University of Dallas' many traditions is Charity Week. Led by the junior class, Charity Week occurs during the fall semester and involves several student-run events, booths and activities that gather the entire campus together to raise money for charity.

Responsible for organizing and managing all aspects of the week, the junior class has the opportunity to reunite after many of them spent their last year apart, experiencing their Rome semesters in the fall or spring of the previous year. Charity Week offers a chance for leadership, community and giving that is organized by the juniors and reaches all of the students, faculty and staff.
