Campus Wide Chapel Series
Welcome to our 2022-2023 University Chapel Series! The purpose of this series is to bring challenging speakers together with the McKendree campus community and the larger community for inspiration and celebration of the spirit that has been at the heart of McKendree University since it’s founding in 1828. Students, faculty, staff and community groups will be featured at each service! We hope you will make a special effort to come celebrate with us!

Theme: Faculty Reflection
Every year in the spring, we celebrate our closing time together with a message from
a retiree or soon-to-be retired professor. They often share significant moments and
memories with students during their tenure here. They also may offer key insights
and wisdom from their time in higher education. We look forward to announcing our
keynote speaker sometime this Fall. Please stay tuned!
