Campus Ministry By Intern Reporters: Katie Stiel & Kate Wilson In an open forum to discuss campus ministry changes, more than 300 gathered at Carroll on Tuesday, March 23. “No decisions will be made tonight,” said Lois Fitzpatrick, mediator. “This is a time to be heard, listen, and to understand.” The forum began at 7:30 p.m. and didn’t end until 12:15 a.m. A panel of five faculty and one student ambassador began the discussion.
