Saint
Louis University and the Micah Program were recognized in
Saviors of
Our Cities: A Survey of Best College and University Civic
Partnerships. The survey
concluded that
St.
Louis University reflects the best of the Jesuit devotion
to the inner city poor. Foregoing an opportunity to move
to a suburban location,the university chose to remain
and help revitalize downtown St. Louis. The university
has created a remarkable community service institution
in the form of the Micah Program. This program...effectively
links administrative, faculty, and student resources with
a variety of community partners.
