2023 CACSD Conference

At the Intersection: Where Loving your Neighbour Begins

An intersection is a junction of paths. The Cross itself is an intersection reminding us of how much God loves us and the two greatest Commandments to love God and each other.  The conference is an intersection – a place we all meet to gather together. Join us as we discuss the intersections of student development in Christian Higher Education and how we can be better neighbors.

This year we are headed to Tyndale University in Toronto, Ontario! Mark your calendars for May 30th - June 2nd, 2023. We can’t wait to see you there!
