My husband and I met thru InterVarsity! Two college chapters (SUNY Geneseo and Rochester Institute of Technology) held a joint picnic at Letchworth State Park in 1977. A mutual friend introduced us. I thought he was the handsomest man I'd ever seen! And after 40 years of marriage, I still think so.

Did God change your life through InterVarsity?
