You’re invited to come experience real community, engage your mind and develop your spirituality.  Come join us for InterVarsity Christian Fellowship: Undergrad weekly meetings.

Did you know…

• that there are over 27 million people in slavery today?
• that there are more slaves in the world right now than there were in the sum of the trans-Atlantic slave trade?
• that the human trafficking industry generates more than $42 billion a year?
• that you can do something about it?

Bring your friends, bring your roommates and floormates, bring your coworkers and your student organizations and join us in the fight against human trafficking. Rally around the issue at Parade of Tears on April 18th, learn more about the issues involved from the experts at the Town Hall meeting on the 19th, and definitely come wrap up the week at the Price of Life Main Event on Thursday the 22nd.
If you have any questions or would like to partner your organization with this campaign, please check out the website or email us.

InterVarsity’s fall conference, What Do You See?, will explore the story of Samuel, Saul, David and Israel from I Samuel 16 and 17. We will look at scripture, spend time in worship and grow in prayer. You will also get to really dig into the lives of the other people in your chapter.

The conference runs from 6:00 friday night to 1:00 sunday afternoon and costs $110 if you register by October 20th, after which the price goes up to $130. If money is an issue, we have scholarships! For that or any other questions, come talk to or email Jeff or Rachel.

More info @ the conference website.

Join us to celebrate the freedom we do have, while remembering and supporting those who don’t.  We will play games, remember our own childhoods and have the opportunity to support the International Justice Mission, a non-profit dedicated to fighting  human trafficking.

Cool: Let’s face it, we all want it. Jocks, gamers, hipsters, nerds, rebels… even those who claim a cynical anti-cool stance. We strive for cool, we lean on it… but inevitably we eventually find ourselves among the uncool – on the outside looking in. So what is cool really? Why do we long for it, and who defines it? Join us with author Paul Grant as we look at these questions and what affect the pursuit of cool has on our lives and relationships.

Human trafficking is the modern-day slave trade, and it is currently the fastest growing global criminal industry.

Join us this Thursday to learn more about these issues and what you can do to help bring modern day slavery to an end.

This event will feature a speaker from the International Justice Mission, Kaign Christy, Regional Director of Operations for Southeast Asia for the International Justice Mission. Mr. Christy will be speaking about the mission and activities of IJM, an international human rights agency that secures justice for victims of slavery, sexual exploitation and other forms of violent oppression. IJM lawyers, investigators and aftercare professionals work with local officials in 12 countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America to ensure immediate victim rescue and aftercare, to prosecute perpetrators and to promote functioning public justice systems.

This event is hosted by Christian Graduate Student Alliance, Asian American InterVarsity, InterVarsity: Black Student Movement, and InterVarsity: Undergraduate Chapter.

But what does this look like? What does it mean to be multiethnic? Are ethnic specific chapters a good thing? Can we have authentic race conversation? Is this whole thing just some exercise in political correctness? How can our chapter take steps in the multiethnic journey? These questions and others you have are why we are doing this conference.

To register, fill out this form and give it to Jeff by Feb 5th.
