Dear Colleagues,
After consultation with the churchwide office and Loyola University, we are deeply saddened to announce that this summer's staff conference will not take place as planned. Given the ongoing nature of the COVID-19 outbreak and the uncertainty about travel in the upcoming months, we believe it is more responsible to advise campus ministry staff to avoid travel.
Those who have already registered for staff conference will receive a full refund.
Our hope is to offer a high quality virtual gathering that will serve as an alternative way to connect, learn, and strengthen one another. We also hope to offer New Staff Onboarding and a LuMin Network Annual Meeting as online gatherings.
Please keep attuned to the conference website, email, and the LuMin Professional Staff facebook group for more information about these virtual gatherings, and for other ways to connect with colleagues.
In this uncertain time, we are grateful to have companions in this ever-changing work. Thank you for your collegiality. May God bless and keep you in the upcoming weeks and months.
In Christ,
Staff Conference Planning Team

Bound TogetherJoin us this summer in Chicago as we gather to explore ways in which we can weave together our various identities in a manner that uplifts diversity! The campus ministry network is, and has been, a community that relies on shared resources and mutual support, and we will honor this connectedness with a focus on reimagining how we can work towards inclusion within our ministries.
Our time together will be anchored with a day long anti-racism training to begin our journey towards dismantling systemic racism and all other forms of social inequality and oppression. The hope is that we each leave Chicago better equipped to identify and confront these issues in/on our lives, campuses, communities, and culture. Throughout the course of the conference, you can also expect to find the familiar spaces for worship, fellowship, brainstorming and resource sharing that we all look forward to each year. Whether as a new campus ministry colleague, old friend, or restless agitator, we begin this decade for LuMin, reminded that we are “Bound Together”! |
