A conversation on finding fulfillment in an exhausting world

We inexhaustibly toil to get to the next step. First it was grinding away at high school to get into college, then it's grinding away in college to secure a job or get into graduate school. This cycle perpetuates and it often comes at the cost of our personal health and wellbeing. But does it inevitably have to be this way, can all this really be healthy for us?

Connect with your fellow students and our speakers for this important conversation. Reception to follow with Homeslyce and refreshments.

Searching For Hope in a Disappointing World

Join us as the speakers discuss and share insights from their respective fields and worldviews about the question "When will you be satisfied?"

We inexhaustibly desire more, but will we ever be fully satisfied? We are all faced with this question as we search for purpose, meaning and satisfaction and no matter what we do to ignore or suppress it, it resurfaces. Two leading civic voices with different worldviews come together to discuss this question and its impact on the self and society.

Pizza from HomeSlyce will be served.
