Two weeks from today – Friday September 16th during Welcome Week – students and staff involved with Campus Crusade (Cru) will be handing out 2,200 “Freshman Survival Kits” welcome bags to incoming students.

Each welcome bag will include a New Testament, a copy of the book Imaginary Jesus, a pair of funky sunglasses, a lighweight backpack, and informational flyers about the ministry.

This year we’re also including a small flyer with a list of Christian professors at Cal Poly inside every Freshman Survival Kit. 

The text reads:

“As professors, we share a common love for students, for knowledge, and for a free exchange of ideas. Most importantly, though, we are followers of Jesus Christ – and believe He is worth knowing. Feel free to contact us if you have any questions about what this means, or would just like to talk. Welcome to Cal Poly.”

Below the text are professors’ names and departments. If you’d like to have your name included on this list, let us know.

The choices students make their first few days on campus often determine what direction they’ll choose for the next four years.

As you remember, please pray for this outreach – and for the impact of the student ministries (Crusade, InterVarsity, Navigators, Epic, AACF, etc) on campus.
