This year, dorm resident directors and David Hoekema, acting vice president of Student Life, brainstormed ways to promote community on campus. One idea they thought up was campus-wide Late Nights. The project is not affiliated with the residence hall Late Nights, but a separate endeavor that is being offered in April. The theme for the month is friendship.
Friendship is also an umbrella topic that can cover a large variety of issues.
On Tuesday, April 6, Chaplain Dale Cooper was scheduled to begin the series by giving a talk on how to be a friend in Christ by examining what joins people belonging to Christ, what it means to be a friend, and how to cultivate friendships. Unfortunately, no one showed up for the opening Late Night. Unfortunately, no one showed up for the opening Late Night.
