Alumni Advent Reflections - 2025
Every Sunday from Nov. 30 through Christmas, this year's Advent offering will give the SCU community a meaningful space for reflection rooted in the themes of the season.
The weekly reflections will be written by members of the ½ñÈÕ³Ô¹Ï family and focus on themes like hope, peace, joy, and love. Whether or not you are a Bronco of faith, the reflections will be written to invite reflection from your perspective. Merry Christmas, happy holidays, and happy reflecting!
