Inclusive Collective - A Jesus-Rooted Movement
Intellectuals. Realists. Weirdos. Doubters. Believers. Students. People. We are a safe place to be our whole selves. Unashamed of who we are. What we look like. Or who we love. We are shamelessly Christian. And we’re reclaiming the genuine love it should mean. We are Leaders and Activists. We are Servants to those in need. We are Fighters for true justice. With Christ as our fuel. And we exist to inspire radically inclusive communities
that explore, share, and flourish in Christ’s grace.
Meet Rev. Kenji Kuramitsu (he/him), cohort mentor for the IC Student Leader Fellowship!! As cohort mentor, Kenji will lead monthly reflection gatherings over Zoom, an in-person retreat, and be available for students for personal conversation as needed. Kenji has previously worked with the IC, leading retreats for both students and staff and we are excited to have him back! Kenji is an ordained priest in the episcopal church, and currently works as the Associate Dean of Student Life at the University of Chicago’s Rockefeller Chapel. In addition to this work, Kenji is a licensed clinical social worker, a writer, presenter, and gardener!

A Prayer for College Students Beginning the Spring Semester
Gracious Creator,
As a new semester begins, we lift up college students in love and hope. Be present with them in the joys and challenges of this season.
Grant them courage to embrace new opportunities, wisdom to navigate unfamiliar paths, and resilience in the face of setbacks. May their minds be open to knowledge, their hearts open to connection, and their spirits open to growth.
Remind them that their worth is not measured by grades or achievements, but by the boundless love you have for them. Strengthen them to seek justice, practice kindness, and walk humbly in all they do.
For those feeling overwhelmed, may your peace bring calm. For those celebrating victories, may gratitude guide their steps. For those searching for belonging, may community surround them with love.
God of new beginnings, walk beside each student, guiding them with your light and holding them in your care. Bless their work, their rest, and their relationships, that all may flourish this semester.
In hope and faith, we pray. Amen.
(Feel free to share and tag a college student who could use this encouragement!)

Let us recommit to supporting those living with HIV, dismantling stigma, and championing life-saving advancements. Together, we can embody hope in action and build a future free from HIV/AIDS.
