Resources
The Council for Christian Colleges & Universities hosted a Creation Care Webinar on April 20, 2009. The webinar included six pre-selected teams from CCCU member institutions and experts in the field of creation care intitiatives on college campuses. In addition to advice on creating campus wide initiatives, the following resource directory was a result of the webinar. Going forward, it is the CCCU's desire that this page be a launching pad of creation care resources that will grow as a result of input from our instututions.
