Consider This Archive

Every week during the academic year, the Chaplain’s Office Telegram lets all subscribers know what’s new in the chaplain’s office and in religious life across campus.  The telegram ends with Consider This, where one of our staff writes a short reflection for the week.  Feeling particularly reflective?  Browse our consider this archive below.
