Banding Representative Himes
On Thursday night, I spoke with Congressman Jim Himes of Connecticut regarding the importance of ONE on the a national and global stage.
The congressman gladly accepted a ONE band on behalf of SHU and proudly wore it for the remainder of his stay. Congressman Himes was at Sacred Heart in commemoration of Constitution Day, and lectured on the “Significance of the US Constitution: The View from a Freshman Congressman.”

Mike is the man! He reminds me of myself when I attended college some twenty years ago – an unstoppable activist for the world’s poor. Keep it up, Mike, and you’ll still be an unstoppable activist twenty years from now for the world’s poor – like me. (smile)
All the Best, debbie
