Mission Statement

Rooted in the Dominican values of education, service, community, and reflection, the ROSE project invites students to marry the processes of inquiry and purpose-driven action to give back to their communities in a meaningful way. This two-year process creates a reciprocal relationship between the community and the student. Students learn that true service is not just volunteering, but helping to bridge understanding and continuing to keep the “why,” not just the “what,” front of mind. The ROSE project is an essential component of the San Domenico graduate’s commitment to finding purpose in their education and beyond.
