...Trying Game To its credit, Ramu Nico has done far more than the average Chinese state-owned enterprise to repair its image and court community approval. Unlike most other Chinese firms, the company responds promptly to international press queries and has published a comprehensive project sustainability report.

There is no doubt that the Jesuits inculcated in me a responsibility to serve as a "man for others...
...Alumni Volunteer Corps, I returned to the school to donate a year, doing student teaching, coaching and offering help where needed. Even though I have moved on to Chicago for stronger work opportunities, I maintain contact with numerous U of D alums, and I cherish what the school has done for me as a man and as a contributing member of society.
