The final weeks of the spring semester always have our students buzzing with anticipation of commencement and summer break.

This year has been filled with countless brilliant moments, and none of them would have been possible without you! Thank you for giving so generously to ɫ��ɫ University and Theological Seminary and Lancaster Theological Seminary.

Each of you, as a member of our giving societies, changes the lives of our students every day. You passionately contribute to ɫ��ɫ through your loyal, leadership, lifetime, and legacy giving to ensure our future is as bright as our past.
