0808-0711-0615-3863In November, we launched this website to provide a forum for discussion of spiritual issues.  Since then, we have published 22 new pieces (approximately one every three days).  The site has been visited about 1,000 times.  Not a bad start.

Our goal is to provide a place where students can engage in open discussion about spiritual issues that matter to them.  We welcome non-students and want them to join in the discussion.  The world is a diverse place, and people of different ages and backgrounds need to learn how to listen to one another.  We need each other, more than ever before.   Because we are an undergraduate student organization, we  need to focus on issues relevant to students and campus life.  Yet we recognize that there is a huge world out there beyond the boundaries of the campus, and that world — some would call it “the real world” — matters to us as well.

Ira came to campus and episode 396 of This American Life, “#1 Party School,” will air this weekend on WPSU 91.5. The episode will also be available streaming online at www.thisamericanlife.org.

The sypnosis from http://www.thisamericanlife.org/Radio_Episode.aspx?episode=396:

This year, The Princeton Review named Penn State the #1 Party School in America. It’s a rotating crown—last year it was University of Florida, before that it was West Virginia University. So we wondered: What is it like to be at the country’s top party school? This American Life producers spent a recent football weekend at Penn State to figure this out. There, we learned the definition of “fracket” (think frat plus jacket); the best way to clean up beer cans after a big party (snow shovel); and how hard it is to get college kids to drink less (really hard).

I’ll be listening.
