Lilly Fellows Program donation to aid "Mentoring for a Mission: The Mercy Scholars Program"
Chicago (Jan. 28, 2011) The Lilly Fellows Program in Humanities and Arts recently awarded Saint Xavier University a $12,000 grant to support a campus mentoring program.
"Mentoring for a Mission: The Mercy Scholars Program" invites a select group of faculty to deepen their understandings of their own faith and religious traditions, to consider how each is connected to their academic lives, and to engage students in Catholic questions of self, purpose, God, meaning and social responsibility.
The program was first launched was launched in 2003 with the aid of a previous Lilly Fellows grant. The program has been offered every year since and alternates between faculty and staff mentoring groups. The funding will help SXU deepen its mentoring focus by reengaging senior faculty members, many of whom have already participated as mentors.
Department of Religious Studies Associate Professor Michael O'Keeffe, Ph.D and Sr. Susan Sanders, R.S.M., Ph.D., will direct the program.

SXU continues 2010-11 film series with "Blind Shaft"
Fourth installment in "Working on Film" series
Saint Xavier University will screen the 2003 film "Blind Shaft" at 7 p.m. on Thurs., Jan. 20 in McGuire Hall, Warde Academic Center, 3700 W. 103rd St., Chicago.
Admission is free and open to the public.
Set in the illegal coalmines in China, "Blind Shaft" is the brutal story of two con men that run a scam on unsuspecting and desperate young migrants who come to work in the mines. Depicting in painstaking detail the bleak and stark lives of these workers, the film has been banned in China since its release.
"Blind Shaft" is the fourth of seven movies in SXU's 2010-11 film series, “Working on Film.” This year’s film series offers an array of screenings that shed light on the experience of labor: how and where people work and the ways that work affects personal life. These stories of work span 80 years of film making and stretch across the globe, linked by the universality of work and human dignity. Upcoming films include "Killer of Sheep," "Norma Rae" and "Baran."
For more information, contact Film Series Director Alison Fraunhar, Ph.D., at fraunhar@sxu.edu or (773) 298-3083.
