Are you interested in taking better photos, visiting beautiful locations in Oregon, and creating a photography portfolio? Look no further than Photography Club! We are open to beginners who have never used a camera as well as more intermediate photographers looking to get more out of their cameras.

We will be meeting from 4 to 5 p.m. in the Roberts Center’s Room 168 on Monday, Oct. 1. Snacks and drinks will be provided.

While we provide cameras at meetings, we highly encourage you to bring your own camera as well even if it’s just your phone.

Author Gabe Lyons is on campus tonight (Friday) to present a free lecture, “Faithfulness in the Age of Distraction,” at 7:30 p.m. in Bauman Auditorium. Lyons is coauthor of Good Faith (2016) and unChristian (2007) and the author of The Next Christians (2010), a manifesto for how Christians can faithfully lead in a changing culture.

Lyons’ talk will pierce through your scattered, frantic day-to-day – the too-tight schedules, the looming deadlines, the constant technological buzz – everything that has become a barrier to our relationship with God and others. You’ll come away with new tools and a refreshed perspective on what it takes to live out the gospel in our modern world.

Chapel credit is available to students who attend! To learn more, visit this page.
