I met my husband at UW-Milwaukee’s InterVarsity chapter. At that time, there was a culture of not dating. Two of the male student leaders were especially advocates for creating a culture of brothers and sisters in Christ. My now husband, Ethan, was one of them. 

"I've described myself as an atheist for as long as I can remember," Brian said. "But now, I'd say I'm more agnostic." Brian and I have been talking about faith since we were roommates in college.

"So," he said, stirring his coffee thoughtfully, "I know you're deeply religious in ways I'm not, and I'm intrigued to know more about what that means to you."

Neil, now an alumnus of the University of Texas at Austin, encountered InterVarsity not through an invitation, a roommate, or a table, but from a humble flyer. 

At The University of Texas at Austin in the early 2000s, a group of South Asian students noticed that their corner of campus was overlooked. No campus ministries or churches sought to evangelize to or create Christian community for the growing population of Indian students on campus.

What does it mean to be mixed? I’m both white (European American) and a person of color (Mexican American). Those of us who are mixed bring together two or more ethnicities into one body. We have a unique gift of seeing the world through multiple lenses, but it often can be hard and complex. But I believe it is also a gift to steward.
