Lent marked the beginning of a campus-wide call
to fast from technology.
The fast was completely
voluntary and only lasted
a week, though students
could continue the fast
on their own.
Director of
Student Ministry, Odus
Compton said, “The idea
is that we would fast from
some form of technology
for, initially, a week; some
people are continuing, but
the overall call was for a
week starting on Lent.

Facebook or Twitter, or
something that governs
a little bit more of your
time than you wish.
