The recipe for peace is made of ingredients that are available to you at HU, and the best part is this recipe doesn’t have to be for seniors only! After you complete this recipe, share it with someone whom you think could use it.

In November, our side of the globe may be turning colder in preparation for winter, but the creative minds from the Merillat Centre of the Arts are only getting warmed up. The MCA welcomes you to wrap up this autumn enjoying a variety of musical, theatre, and visual arts.

Looking back at last year, one of my regrets is that I did not participate much in floor worship. Luckily, I am only a sophomore with plenty of time to make up for what I missed and encourage others to do the same.

Saturday mornings for college students typically involve sleeping in, watching Netflix, or going out to brunch with friends. I attended a volleyball match this past Saturday, and I can confidently say I will be returning for more.
