This exciting event is hosted by Renewal: A Student Creation Care Network… This is a student-run network born out of the energy and vision of Christian students from both secular and Christian colleges, who care a whole lot about the whole of God’s creation. It is just getting started so now is the time to get involved!

Renewal’s vision is:  "To inspire and equip the student generation to lead its communities in the compassionate stewardship of all of God's creation," and, "To advance through word and deed a Christ-centered perspective on environmental issues."
