"If God is for us, who can be against us?" -Romans 8:31

Regardless of our political points of view, we think we can all agree that the university is hurting these days. Faculty, post-docs, graduate students, and international students have all been affected by the ongoing federal policy changes. Our friends are hurting, anxious, worried, fearful, and we are hurting with them. So what hope can we offer? 

During the week of Regionals, we will look to Deuteronomy and Romans 8 for wisdom and hope. 

For those who have been excused from Regionals Staff Conference or cannot make the trip, please consider joining us on zoom for the evening sessions. The sign-up information for zoom is below.
