This stage (of life)
December 15, 2023 | Hannah Turner BK ‘24
I’m cast into the expanse of eyes as
I act to my best ability yet;
the lines I’d memorized now elude me.

Life City
February 1, 2023 | Amelia Dilworth BR ‘23

Two Ways to Get Home
By Bradley Yam, SY ‘21. Bradley is majoring in Ethics, Politics & Economics and Computer Science.
College is a place filled with worry enough, especially for bright-eyed newcomers to the hallowed halls of the Academy. Those among them who have faith often carry an added burden: the fear of losing it.

By Serena Puang, DC ‘22. Serena is majoring in Linguistics.
Faith in the face of coronavirus is not blindly insisting on meeting as a church per usual and ignoring the real dangers that this pandemic can pose for people (though many churches are still faithfully meeting and taking precautions). It is not ignoring the problem or wishing it away.

By Bella Gamboa, JE '22. Bella is majoring in Humanities.
