The residence and the Scholars Program
Residents, from all social, ethnic and religious backgrounds, join our Scholars Program. It is a program that seeks to help students maximize their university experience by growing academically, professionally and personally.
While residing at Parkhill, residents commit to participating in various formational activities throughout the academic year. These include social times (get-togethers), guest lectures, one-on-one mentoring and volunteering.

Mentoring
These one-to-one sessions allow the Scholar to reflect and to set personal objectives. One can discuss topics such as life at the university, study habits, career considerations, etc. This is also an opportunity for the mentors to get to better know the Scholar and to give him tailored advice.
Volunteering
Scholars are expected to invest some time in volunteering activities. There is arguably no better way, in order to expand one’s heart, than to turn one’s attention to the needs of others. Scholars may find volunteering opportunities through their university or other organizations.
In addition, the chaplaincy provides those who so desire (not mandatory) activities of a spiritual and doctrinal nature given in keeping with the teachings of the Roman Catholic Church and the spirit of the Prelature of Opus Dei that provides these activities.
