Urbana 15 was a phenomenal gathering of students, faculty, InterVarsity staff, and missions organizations from around the globe. How now do we make it real in our daily lives, carry what we learned on to share it with others, and never forget the ways God moved in us during this experience?

Connecting students and faculty in this way opens many fruitful doors. Christian students now know of Christian faculty or, more precisely, faculty who engage in an academically rigorous life and yet still believe in God.
