Danielle Strebel, Shannon Nelson, Tim Gossen
Saint Mary’s students and a staff member attended the Lasallian Convocation on the Rights of the Child in April at the United Nations (UN). Tim Gossen, dean of students, and students Shannon Nelson and Danielle Strebel joined with other representatives of Lasallian schools and colleges in the United States and Toronto, Canada, in their call for universal ratification of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC). The CRC emphasizes the rights of children to survival; to develop to their full potential; to protection from abuse, neglect, discrimination, and exploitation; and to participate in family, cultural, and social life. After the conference, the students said they are inspired to work locally and challenge other Saint Mary's students to assist volunteer services that help children in Winona.
