The Hastings College Vocation and Values Program will host a “One Campus, One Community” luncheon Wednesday, March 14, from 11:45 a.m. to 1 p.m., in Hazelrigg Student Union, Rooms A and B. 
 

Guest speaker will be Rev. Heidi McGinness, United States representative for Christian Solidarity International, a world human rights organization. She will address
“Genocide and Modern Day Slavery in the Sudan.”

An ordained Presbyterian minister, McGinness works to expose religious persecution and to provide spiritual and material support for victims of persecution. She has worked in the Sudan to liberate women and children from slavery and to provide physical support (food and medicine), spiritual support, and hope.

McGinness will share first hand accounts from trips she made to the Sudan during the past three years. 

 “One Campus, One Community” luncheons are funded through the Lilly Endowment Inc., to encourage communication between the college and Hastings community. Approximately 70 local community leaders, including social service organizations, ministers, and campus leaders, faculty and students will be in attendance.
