From celebrating big wins, to capturing beautiful campus photos, this was a year of significant milestones and achievements for Concordia University Ann Arbor. We had a lot to share in 2019 as we lived out our mission of developing students in mind, body, and spirit for service to Christ in the Church and the world.
