It's coming! The new academic year at West Chester University is almost here, and we are glad for it! It will be nice to have a full stable of students back on campus for the Fall semester!

We hope you’re as excited as we are to be here at WCU! We look forward to great things happening to each of you as you adjust to the changes here and find new people to connect with each and every day!

CrossSeekers would like to officially welcome any and all people from the academic community at WCU to participate in our Wednesday night gatherings in Goshen 101A starting at 7:30! We’ll enjoy times of fun and musical worship as well as plenty of snacks, drinks and of course, some time looking at the Bible.

This semester, we’re studying “Lingo”, which is a look at the words used in the Christian faith. We all have our own ways of saying things. But what are the essentials we should maintain in our Christian vernacular? Come on out and dive in as we take a peek at some of the verbiage of the faith.

We’ll see you Wednesday nights at 7:30 in Goshen 101A!

CrossSeekers took some time to serve the campus during finals week by cooking up and dishing out some free pancakes in the Sykes Ballrooms on Tuesday night, May 4! For several hours, students were working the griddles to provide some free food and breaktime from studying. It was our way of saying “Good Luck” and serving as a blessing to the students of WCU!

We hope you all enjoyed the end of the semester and are having a good summer break thus far. Some of you will be back soon, but others of you we won’t see until the fall semester kicks off in late August. Take care and let us know how we can serve you during your remaining time at WCU!

There is no denying the impact that Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. made and has continued to make on the world, most notably in this country. All of America has benefited from his life and legacy.

While the nation celebrated his life earlier this week, West Chester University is hosting a series of events today to remember this great leader. All throughout the day, we encourage you to participate in the events held on campus, including a performance by the Gospel Choir and especially, a panel discussion tonight in Sykes Ballroom C.

The Gospel Choir will be in the lobby of Sykes during the lunch hours. You won’t be able to miss them if you’re stopping for lunch in Sykes.

Reflecting on A Letter from a Birmingham Jail Then and Now will be the topic for tonight’s panel discussion, which will be moderated by WCU history professor LaTonya Thames-Taylor. Local religious leaders from area churches will give insights on various letters Dr. King wrong from his jail cell in Birmingham, Alabama. The panel discussion will start at 7 p.m.

These are perfect opportunities for you to learn outside of the classroom, and we encourage each of you to take part in these events.
