One of the priorities guiding Jesuit education today is journeying with students in co-creating a hope-filled future.  A group of USF faculty and student-facing staff has spent the year reflecting on the mission of Jesuit education, and we want to hear from students.  We invite all USF students to write a 750-1200 word essay on one or both of the following questions: When and how have you been accompanied at USF?  What does a hope-filled future look like to you? 

Submissions are due April 12 and should be sent to Erin Brigham: embrigham@usfca.edu.  Selected essays will be featured in the Lane Center’s annual publication, Pierless Bridges.  Authors will also receive a $50 giftcard to the USF bookstore.  

All students, regardless of whether they participate in the essay contest are invited to conversation over lunch on the topic.  This gathering with faculty and staff will take place on Tuesday, April 23 at 11:45 a.m.–12:45 p.m. in KA 144. Register for lunch » 

Please reach out to Professor Erin Brigham with any questions.

Orthodox Christian Fellowship (OCF) is a student-led group dedicated to exploring the Orthodox Christian faith, fostering spiritual growth, and exposing our campus to the faith, cultures, and customs that are authentically Orthodox. We are a small but dynamic group of students from many different backgrounds who share a common desire to learn more about the 2,000-year tradition of the Eastern Orthodox Church. All students, including non-Orthodox, are very welcome! Please drop by or email our spiritual adviser, Fr. Kirill Sokolov, or our student leader, Christianna Yano, for more information.

These weekly gatherings are a space to engage the Bible in the community. Student leaders based the discussion on the questions you bring, so it's a great place to be whether you have experience with the Bible or not! This semester, we are discussing portions of the Book of Exodus and how this ancient text relates to life today. 

Groups meet weekly at the following times:
