MICUA

Service learning is an important element of the educational experience at Loyola College in Maryland, which contributes over 5,000 hours in community service each year and is known throughout the region and nation as a leader in the field. The culmination of one recent project-Loyola's second Habitat for Humanity home, located in West Baltimore's Sandtown neighborhood-was reached in a dedication ceremony on April 26.

In December 2007, the MICUA Board of Trustees adopted an action plan to build on existing efforts to enhance minority and local business participation in capital construction projects.

Each year, Baltimore City and Maryland's 23 counties honor the best public school teachers in their districts with the coveted title: Teacher of Year. Students trained at MICUA colleges and universities have claimed half of this year's awards, a testament to the quality of education at a Maryland independent institution.
