Thanks for all you did!

Here is what we do know: Students being nominated have to be in 2-3 campus organizations and hold atleast one (maybe 2) leadership position. Students must have 60 credit hours towards their degree. Deadlines for applications is this Friday. The decision to do this is based around our commitment to present Jesus tothe campus. Students being nominated for Homecoming Court go through a series of interviews and will have the opportunity to speak about their organization and what it does. Therefore any student wanting to be considered as the BSU's representative needs to be committed to speaking openly and freely with these panels about our ministry and about their faith. If you are interested in this opportunity and will see it as a ministry first then call or come by the BSU tomorrow after 11:30.
