Service widens horizons

Service learning is definitely not one of the reasons why I chose to come to Cabrini. I really did not think that I had the time to spend with someone who needed my help.

Do you get upset when you are driving and there is somebody in front of you who is either going too slow or perhaps does not know how to drive?

Circle K Update

In the beginning of the 2001-2002 school year there was a lot of publicity about a new club at Cabrini called Circle K. Over the past few months most of that talk has died down.
