Urbana is moving

During the last half century, more than 200,000 college students have been drawn to a special event between Christmas and New Years on the cold prairie of downstate Illinois.

That tradition will continue, but at a new location.

InterVarsity Christian Fellowship/USA has announced the beginning of a new era for its triennial Urbana Student Mission Convention. On October 19, 2004, InterVarsity president Alec Hill sent an email to InterVarsity staff confirming that the Urbana Convention is moving to St Louis in 2006.

A news release and additional information about the move is online.
