Favorite CUAA Pastime
One of my favorite CUAA experiences was the winterim study abroad opportunity in Israel. It was such a blessing to praise God in fellowship with peers, friends and mentors. It was the trip (pilgrimage) of a lifetime.
What would you share with prospective students who are considering attending CUAA?
