On Feb. 11, the LEAD Series featured guest speaker Terry Houston, who led a presentation and spirited discussion on diversity and related issues.

Other events included Mission Talks on the “ASC’s Mission and the Guatemala Study and Serve,” and “India and ASC Ministry to the Disadvantaged,” Homecoming men’s and women’s basketball games, and the 24 Hour Theatre Project. Heritage Month ended on March 3 with an Ecumenical Prayer Service.
