As midterms week overcame DePaul University this week, more than a dozen students took an hour or so aside from their hectic lives in order to attend this weeks Interfaith Cafe. The topic this week was on social media and how it influences our spiritualities and understandings of the world. It was a wonderful night of discussion and community building as students shared stories about how the media affects them in their lives. I have attached two reflections from students who participated in the cafe who were willing to share their thoughts about it with all of you.

I hope you enjoyed these reflections by DePaul University students. I hope you will share your opinions on the matter, whether on this site or with family or friends. Until next week, keep sharing your story with the world; for you are so very precious and integral to making the world a better place.
