Please refer alumni-owned businesses by filling out this form, or share this link with business owners. Please share this opportunity with as many alumni as you can. Together we Stand Tall!

Thanks!

It’s time to sign up for a fall semester Life Group!

Life Groups are offered by the Office for Spiritual Life as a weekly time of Bible study, fellowship and prayer. Groups led by a graduating senior or a post-college leader and are all male, all female or co-ed.

Fall groups are nine weeks in length, starting the week of Sept. 7. This fall all Life Groups will be either Zoom groups or hybrid groups. Hybrid groups will meet via Zoom or may occasionally meet outdoors as the weather, state and university regulations and participant comfort permit.

Throughout the pandemic, students can earn SpiL credit for participating in Life Groups through the Office for Spiritual Life in order to encourage engagement in high-quality spiritual formation experiences that are participatory and offer ongoing community.

Life Groups are overseen by the Office of Spiritual and Intercultural Life, which is passionate about providing students the opportunity to be spiritually nurtured in intentional communities focused on intimacy with God and spiritual formation.

The sunny yellow lids on the bins in the outside enclosures are for recycling only. Please avoid dumping garbage in the recycling bins because it contaminates the entire bin. If trash has been mixed into the recycling, the entire bin must be taken to the landfill.

The recycling bins are a commingled service, so recyclables can be mixed together. View the full list of what can be recycled. 

Recycling not only reduces the use of raw resources, it also reduces what is taken to landfills and saves the university money in garbage fees. Thank you for making a positive impact on our world!
