When students at Neumann University needed more on-campus housing, the next-door Sisters of Saint Francis became their 'dorm mates!'
"Our Franciscan value is relationships," said Sister Esther Anderson. "That's the core value."
"We were approached by Neumann about the need for further student housing," said Sister Anderson. "And we had vacated one of the wings of our building during the pandemic." While the walls are thick enough to keep the peace between wings, the students and sisters found it better to break down any figurative barriers between them.
Those bonds are forged at community parties, dining events, and more. Students have even enjoyed teaching the sisters how to perform viral TikTok dances.
