National Catholic Student Coalition

I wish I knew about this organization when I was an ungergrad!  They're celebrating their 25th annual leadership conference this year in Atlanta, GA; if you can't make it, at least check their site out and see if you can get your university involved!

Giving

A couple of Sundays ago, The Boston Globe Magazine published "The Giving Issue" (11/9/2008), devoted entirely to...er...well, "giving."  You can check their online portion of the issue here.  Though Boston-centric, there's plenty that can be appropiated to your local community.

Happy day,
