How to Be Christian in College

A lot of people think it should be hard to be a Christian and a college student. Is it? Should it be? And in any case, how can you do both well? Professors Lara Buchak and Steven Justice will offer both intellectual and practical perspectives on Christians’ relationships with ideas and arguments, with professors and peers, with churches and pastors, and with the choices they face in their own lives. No readings; just come ready to discuss. All undergraduates are welcome.
