What was the highlight of your time in IV?

A: "The profound sense of belonging I experienced all four years of college.

Knowing that I had an organization of hundreds of people who always had my back was invaluable. The IV community bond truly shone across my campus and I never felt far from a brother or sister in Christ.

IV gave me my community, and I would not be the person I am today without this organization."

What's your greatest takeaway from your time in InterVarsity?

A: "InterVarsity taught me that to keep growing in my faith, finding community is essential.

As I transition into this next phase of life, I am excited to maintain these lifelong friendships and see Christian community in my new city."
