Description : When a person is dying, spiritual concerns often become increasingly important. Questions arise related to life’s purpose and the impact of one’s life on others and the community. People may ask, “why is this happening to me” or “what does it mean to the world that I have lived." Some people focus on what comes after death. Spirituality is the essence of our inner being and hospice and palliative care consider spiritual care to be among the most important aspects of total care at the end of life. February's speaker is Executive Director of the Josie Harper House, Gary George.

With this project, UNO Students will create a project based on the needs of that organization. Students will be learning about service leadership and will present how they used leadership/course content in their service work. Students will also spend 16-20 hours in service, depending on your organization's needs. At the end of the semester, students will vote for one organization to receive the $1000 grant.
