September/October Religious Life on Campus
Each month, we will take quick note of the various and wonderful events that our various religious organizations have put on throughout campus. Some of the most fundamental and beautiful examples of religious life on college campuses come in the work that our ministries do every week and small events that are put on by way of our student groups. While large scale programs, concerts, and lectures are a great addition to the work of these ministries and groups, we must make sure that all of this tremendous work is seen.
With that being said, here are some of the events that have taken place over the past month. If you would like to know more about these groups or their events, come to our website and links for each group can be found.
