Better Together is a national movement that brings together people of different religious and non-religious backgrounds to work toward a common goal. It’s for anyone who wants to share their values and learn something unforgettable about someone else’s. It doesn’t matter if you’re a student or not, religious or not. We can all use a little more inspiration these days.

The celebration began on Better Together Day (April 6) and keeps going for a full week, concluding with a Bowling Social and fundraiser on Thursday, April 13. Check out the full list of upcoming events below.
