A lovely article on our annual Thanksgiving dinner.
Wishing you a happy, healthy, and safe Thanksgiving!
Another campus Thanksgiving dinner in the books. We had 89 students and many wonderful volunteers. We couldn't be more thankful we could do this for the students who stay on campus over break.
Thinking of those we've lost today because they dared to live their truth. #transdayofremembrance #TDoR #nomore
A fascinating article about how Missou has responded since their student protests in 2015. Good lessons for all universities here.

Thanks to our friends in the Chaplaincy we will have a chance as a campus to mourn the deaths of all we lost to hate last week and to lift each other up in hope. Please join us.
