This is your special invitation to enroll in Dominic Done’s RELI 215 course!
Earlier this year, Done wrote When Faith Fails: Finding God in the Shadow of Doubt. The subject of faith and doubt is one he will take on during this spring semester at Fox, when he will challenge students to explore some of the issues that create doubt and discover ways to move through those seasons in pursuit of deep faith.
This is a great opportunity to sit under the teaching of Done, who is committed to helping you be intellectually and culturally prepared to engage in our post-Christian world.

When young adults turn 18 they age out of the foster care system and often find themselves in need of some basic everyday living items as they transition to living on their own for the first time. Help us collect basic everyday living supplies for these young adults!
Each living area lobby has received a donation box labeled with an assigned item to collect. There is an additional donation box in the Office of Spiritual Life. On Friday, Dec. 6, we will collect all the items you have donated this week and create “launch boxes” that will go to our local Department of Human Services office to support these young adults.
