St. Thomas is now part of Global Brigades, an international, non-profit organization and the largest student-led social responsibility movement in the world. 

STU students will travel to Panama in May 2017 to participate in a Human Rights Brigade. Student-volunteers will assist foreign lawyers with pro-bonocases and hold workshops on human rights in rural communities. 

Throughout the year students will be hosting events, fundraising and community activities as well as participating in hands on learning in the community to aid in preparing them for their 2017 abroad service learning trip.
