New students help out on the grounds of St. Mary Monastery in Rock Island.
It may be only their first week on campus but more than 500 new students already have become a part of St. Ambrose's tradition of service. They volunteered in the Quad Cities community during "Urban Plunge," and some local news outlets picked up on their good work. Here are a few links to the stories:
