Twice a term the Center for Faith and Spirituality hosts this favorite event for students. It is just what it says it is: Just Lunch.

Students are greeted by CFS student staff and invited to free lunch. Watch The Bridge for upcoming events.
On Purpose - Fall, J-term and Spring reflection program
On Purposeis a program that invites the Carthage community to explore big questions about who we are and what our lives are calling us to do. Through self-reflection, intentional thinking and conversations, and opportunities to take action, students grow into their vocations and build purposeful, meaningful lives - not by chance, but by design, On Purpose. Information and registration will be posted on The Bridge. Contact Holly Hess at hhess@airllevant.com.
