This Month at PBA
Homecoming and Family Weekend —Palm Beach Atlantic University will celebrate Homecoming & Family Weekend virtually Oct. 1-4. Mike Donehey, lead singer of the worship band Tenth Avenue North, will lead a time of prayer and worship, and President Dr. Debra A. Schwinn will give the State of the University address. Watch the activities and view the schedule here.
Wordship Month — Wordship is a new University initiative that emphasizes worshiping God by using words to build up, rather than tear down. Communication Professor Dr. Stephanie Bennett will lead students, staff and faculty through a related study on Tuesday evenings through the month of October. Just as PBA has blessed Palm Beach County through 52 years of Workship, our signature community service program, we would like to bless our divided society by practicing respectful conversation that honors, even those with whom we disagree.
Pandemic Perspectives — Due to popularity, the University will launch another session of Pandemic Perspectives, a free community course, on Oct. 1. Participants complete the course at their own pace and may choose to complete all or some of the 12 core sessions, depending on which topics they find most interesting. View the course outline and register here.
