Service, in honor of the Founder of Sacred Heart University, the
Most Reverend Walter W. Curtis, second Bishop of Bridgeport, CURTIS Week is a week when the University sponsors a delegation of students from diverse backgrounds
to experience the economic and social challenges d by residents of Bridgeport. The program offers our students a unique opportunity to become aware of the resources and the problems of the inner city through community service and reflection with other students.
Curtis Week's main theme is the discussion of stereotyping and prejudice.
