PSYCamp 2021
We are excited to invite high-schoolers to attend Psychology Camp this year, June 20-24. Psychology Camp provides a fun opportunity for students to explore psychology and the question, “Why do humans do what they do?” This year, we will offer both an in-person, day camp option, as well as an online option. While we will not be hosting our in-person campers overnight in a residential format, we are excited to welcome them to campus during the day and provide them a taste of what it is like to be a student on campus. This enriching, summer camp environment will help students gain knowledge and explore various branches of psychology including, clinical psychology, developmental psychology, personality and biopsychology. If you know someone who would be interested in attending, we invite you to learn more and register here: https://www.messiah.edu/info/21685/psychology_camp.
Messiah University Department of Theatre and Dance presents: The 2021 Spring Senior Series
“For We Were Loved First” rescheduled dates are Friday, April 9 and Saturday, April 10 at 8 p.m.
For We Were Loved First
Created, choreographed and performed by MacKenzie Harrison and Aimee Kulp
While self-love, romantic love and family love all have moments of joy, we are imperfect— so our love is imperfect, and the joy that we feel when relying on them passes. It is only when God penetrates our hearts that our love can be a truly beautiful and holy thing. And while we would love for that to be the end of the story, even after we start to experience agape love, we still battle the sin on this earth. Human love goes up and down even when we are held in the arms of the Father, but one day we will know love that is perfectly and completely whole.

Reminder from the Key Services Department
If you are a supervisor to students in work-study positions, internships, etc., please remind your students that their keys need to be returned prior to their departure for summer. Keys may be returned in one of four locations.
• (Preferred location) The Lenhert front office is open Monday-Friday from 7:30 a.m.- 4 p.m. After hours, drop key in the secure mailbox beside the entrance door.
• North Complex fishbowl in the secure mailbox
• South Complex main lobby in the secure mailbox

Do not return keys to the secure mail boxes at Oakwood Hills.
It is the supervisor’s responsibility to ensure the students turn in their keys before leaving campus. Failure to do so will result in the department being charged the associated fines.
If the student is assigned work/projects during the summer and has a need for their keys after May, an email must be sent to Key Services from their supervisor indicating the revised due date for the key.
Any keys – regardless of whether they are held by employees or students – are subject to a minimum $75 fee per key if they are not returned and/or lost.

Wanted
Car needed. A Messiah senior graduating this semester is looking for a car to borrow/use for the summer while they are working in the area; they will be heading out to a mission program in the fall. This student is a responsible driver with no prior accidents. They are interested in an automatic transmission, preferably for the end of April to mid-September.
If you know of an opportunity, please contact Hannah McBride at hmcbride@messiah.edu to get in touch with the student.
Car seat. Looking for any kind of free car seat: expired, stained, ripped, dirty, filthy, a bucket seat, a booster, or a convertible. My daughter gets a discount on a new one if she brings in an older model. It doesn’t have to be in good shape, as she’s going to give it to them for the discount. If you have an old car seat laying around that isn’t in use or ready for the trash, please let me know. Thank you. sportko@messiah.edu
