Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.
2 Corinthians 3:17

Change in the CPDC
After 20 years of service to Messiah University, Joy Fea is leaving to pursue an opportunity at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Joy will serve as the director of Upper House Commons which “gathers the university community for spiritual, intellectual, and vocational formation.” The CPDC team will miss Joy immensely – she has strengthened the university-wide Internship Program, formed countless relationships with faculty, students, and employers, and has always inspired us to lifelong learning and improvement in our work. Joy’s last day at Messiah is July 18. Moving forward, please send all internship-related questions to Ashley Jones (ajones@messiah.edu), director.
