Loras College students Melanie Gerbig, Theresa Milazzo, Broderick Bede Hooker and Blake Derby recently interned at Resources Unite. During winter break, Melanie asked her hometown of Stacyville, Iowa to donate supplies to the local charity organization. The community's generosity resulted in a car overflowing with more than 500 items. The team plans to return next semester with another Duhawk, Whitnee Hale.

Samuel Mazzuchelli, an Italian Dominican missionary to the Dubuque and Galena areas in the 1840s. He worked closely with Bishop Mathias Loras, founder of Loras College, designed many still-standing area churches, and originated the Dominican Sisters of Sinsinawa Mound.
