And we're back!

Admittedly it was quite difficult to put the book down, clamber out of the oversized reading chair, change out the pjs, and leave the kittens behind at home, but that fantastic season of rest did wonders to prepare me for an exciting semester ahead! Here's a quick glance at what we've got coming up on campus:

We're hitting the ground running by participating in Campus Life Night  this Friday evening from 6-8pm in Kirkhof. Stop by our table to hear a bit more about our plans for this semester (and beyond!), learn about the resources we provide, grab some snacks, or try your hand at Celebrity Worldview Trivia! 

Speaking of plans, have you heard about our Interfaith Photovoice cohort? Starting in February, we'll be bringing together a group of students with diverse religious/spiritual/secular identities to dig deeper into their GV campus experience. This weekly cohort will use mobile phone photography to help capture and share those stories and will culminate in a public exhibition of the photos. This is a paid focus group, and we're still looking for more participants, so if this sounds like something you'd be interested in, or if you'd like to learn more, please  reach out!

We'll also be hosting another session of our What Is Interfaith? interactive workshop later on this month as an introduction to interfaith engagement, especially how cultivating a mindset of cultural humility can lead to a more welcoming campus for everyone. Come learn the basics, pick up some tips and tricks for dialoging across difference, and meet other students interested in the work, as well! We hope to see you there.

And that's just January! We'll have more events, conversations, and other ways to engage throughout the semester, so keep an eye out for more soon!
