Meet Millenials

Two students from nearby Loras College met the community this evening. They shared some of their college experiences and their plans after graduation. They also spoke of church, politics, friendship, new media, and other issues, concerns, and hopes of the “Millennial Generation.” We also asked their opinion of several initiatives underway here at the Abbey.
