As we entered into the season of Lent, a time of repentance and remembrance of what Christ sacrificed for us, we feel blessed to look forward to the day of celebration. Many Christians give up something during Lent but a new trend is to give back - "Freely you have received; freely give." Matthew 10:8. To go along with CUW's mission of service, CUW students are doing their second annual week of service, March 6th through March 17th. Our alumni serve in their communities and congregations throughout the world. We would love to hear your stories of service. You can post an update on the new CUW alumni platform, CUWConnect.com. We also are here to serve you, our alumni. There are many resources available to you: career services, discounts, library access, professional development, and each other.
Serving Him and you,
Michelle "Mickie" Wagner '96
