campus-wide Web survey and, as a result, several programs were
suggested. One program that did take place on June 12 and

This group offered a Lenten evening of reflection, similar to the
one for Advent. A light supper was held in the Greaton Room
followed by a prayer service lead by Dr. Margaret Pfeil of the
Theology Department. The committee organized the Photo Booth for
the Hand-in-Hand festival which was held on Saturday, April 7,
2001. Members of the SJU community, including staff,
administrators and faculty, enthusiastically volunteered to take
Polaroid pictures of the guests attending Hand-in-Hand. As
an extension of the Lenten evening of reflection, an on-going
prayer/study/reflection group has been formed, meeting about every
two weeks. After a hiatus during the summer, the group will resume
meeting in September. Anyone in the university is most welcome and
encouraged to join. 4. The next topic was the
