One of my favorite parts about OSU is the variety of ideas, cultures, and beliefs that are offered to students. Every day there is something new to see and do, just around.
The other day, just around was this group that was urging students to participate in working on this community painting.
They were a religious group, but they weren't trying to drive membership. Instead, they were trying to bring attention to Portland's sex trafficking problem and urge students to get involved in the process of making it a priority in our state government.
Sure, they had information on-hand about that their group was about and some of their upcoming events.
But they were mostly just trying to get students to think about what it means to be a part of their community - at OSU, in Corvallis, in the state of Oregon ... in the world.
And I admire and appreciate that - because what are we all trying to accomplish but to figure out what this crazy life thing is all about?
