Encourage students to apply for racial reconciliation conference
Please encourage your freshman, sophomore and junior students to consider applying for the SCORR Conference, a student congress on racial reconciliation scheduled Feb. 27-28, 2009, at Biola University in La Mirada, Calif.
The application deadline is 10 a.m. Tuesday, Dec. 9. George Fox’s Multicultural Services will award $2,500 in scholarships to current students who show leadership potential and want to actively engage in racial reconciliation on campus.
According the organizers, the annual conference convenes with the purpose of “glorifying God by empowering students to better face the challenges existing on their campuses, in their communities, and in society at large through multi-ethnic awareness and engaging in the active process of racial reconciliation.”
The event focuses on the needs of students from diverse ethnic backgrounds who currently attend Christian colleges and universities. Students have the opportunity to meet one another, fellowship, dialogue and pray together for a weekend. You can read more at the SCORR website.
