With the new school year just around the corner I thought it might be a good time to come together for some collective thinking and sharing about how to make the most of this critical time of the year!
That’s what the Back-to-School Blogathon is all about!
Over the course of this 3-day online conference we’ll have the chance to hear from a number of professionals in the college and campus ministry world – and others who have particular interest and/or insight into our work with college students – in the form blog posts and the dialog that ensues.
Hope you’ll make this time of dialog a meaningful part of your preparation for the upcoming year!
