Life is a journey. What is your destination? Destination Dinners explore -- in conversation and sharing of wisdom -- lived journeys by many who have asked important questions about the meaning and purpose of life.
Join outstanding Christian leaders from the extended university community of alumni, parents, faculty, and staff for dinner discussions held twice each semester. Presenters talk about how they developed their own leadership ability, discovered their own vocation, grew in faith, melded family and career, and continue to shape their lives.
For information on how you can "share life's roadmap" with the campus community, contact the Manresa Project at (414) 288-0263.
