Young Adult and Campus Ministries
Dear Freshman
Dear Freshman, Welcome to college! You showed up on campus on a hot summer day with your parents and a minivan full of your effects.

Year-end Review
At the end of the semester, I often put together a newsletter for my students and “Friends of Absalom” to remind and share with people the events of the semester. Here are a few highlights and reflections on the semester: The Minute-to-Win-It Ramadan Party This year marked the second annual Ramadan If-tar for the Center, […]

2012 Resolution: Feel Taller
Every New Year’s Day we get to focus on the year to come and reflect on the year behind us. We get to think about things we have done, left undone, and make plans for the things we would like to do and maybe not do. It’s like a New Year’s absolution and resolution packed […]
