Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God?
You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies.
Corinthians 6:19-20
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Pete Powers, Dean of the School of Arts, Culture, and Society and David Dixon, professor of communication and co-chair of the communication department attended the National Conference on Undergraduate Research (NCUR) at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire on April 13 – 16. They accompanied four students, Kaitlin Merlino, Jessica China, Sierra Weaver and Hye Lim Jung, who presented their undergraduate research projects. NCUR is unique because it offers students from all disciplines and institutions of higher education the chance to showcase their work on a national stage. This was a great opportunity for our Messiah students to present their work and network with 3600 students and faculty.

2023 fall semester – faculty work submission deadlines
Note to faculty: please read.
Due to the new Campus Store vendor’s textbook subscription service, Slingshot Choice, the due dates for faculty submissions of copyright and non-copyrighted material have been adjusted. With enrollment in this new service, the Campus Store aims to deliver a student’s required course materials, including course packets and lab manuals, to the student’s room a week before the semester starts.
As a result, the Campus Store needs these materials to be received into their inventory sooner than in the past.
In addition, copyright permissions are requiring a longer turnaround time to process requests.
Thank you in advance for your understanding. Below are the new dates.
Deadline Dates for Fall Semester 2023 (begins Tuesday, Aug. 22)
May 10:
