A live audience. Two student interns. A week where service, spirit, and storytelling collide. We hand the mic to Jack and Michael as they launch “Sup Boys,” our student-led podcast that captures life at Rockhurst from the inside: candid, energetic, and deeply rooted in Jesuit values.
Mission Week sets the stage. We break down how each class rallies behind a specific partner—from St. Peter Claver Parish in Belize to Red Cloud Indian School in South Dakota, a Sudanese education initiative, and the senior project in San Andrés, Guatemala. These aren’t faceless fundraisers; they’re relationships guided by faculty connections that turn generosity into encounter. You’ll hear the crowd’s favorite traditions, from dodgeball to the STA/Sion volleyball game, and how small moments can fuel big impact.
Jack and Michael share the real shift that happens when service becomes personal. Their time at L’Arche Heartland—celebrating a birthday dressed as Power Rangers—reveals how presence, joy, and humility can reframe what “helping” means. We pivot to winter sports with a milestone: basketball’s 19–0 start, the rivalry game at Municipal Auditorium, and the grit that defines Rockhurst athletics. Plus, a look ahead to a captains’ roundtable, expanded social presence on Instagram, and open invitations for student-suggested topics and dream guests.
Decision Day brings it home. The guys explain why they chose Rockhurst: hallways that feel like home, friendships that cross groups, and a culture that pushes you to grow through service, faith, and brotherhood. If you’re a prospective family or a future Hawklet, this conversation offers a true-to-life picture of what makes our community unique. Listen, subscribe, and share with someone who needs to hear what Mission Week—and student leadership—looks like when it comes alive.
