CARP USA Newsletter for April 2022: Steeped in the Semester, Steeped in CARP
2022-05-04 · Source: tparents.org
Steeped in the Semester, Steeped in CARP As April comes to a close, the semester can start to feel like it’s winding down. Finals are coming up, and it may feel like just the last stretch before we’re ready to dive into summer. For CARP, this is the time when students are steeped in CARP activities. But it wasn’t just the students. Just recently, CARP local directors gathered for a retreat in Estes Park, Colorado where they connected with one another to realign with the purpose of CARP and strategized how to continue to raise leaders in their respective chapters. With a sense of comradery, they felt determined to continue moving forward as we approach the end of the semester and summer!
Meanwhile, the CARP students continued with the spirit of spring. In the beginning of March, we welcomed another newly established chapter at the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities. CARP Bay Area hosted a get-away retreat in Santa Cruz to come alive with the Divine Principle. CARP Las Vegas launched a new podcast series with five episodes already online. CARP Bridgeport found an opportunity to serve their community by creating a garden at a local museum. CARP LA hosted their 7th HyoJeong conference. Check out some of their stories in the articles below:

The Tribe Talk Podcast Series
A little less than two years have passed since the start of the COVID-19 lockdown. As everything shifted online, so did we. Our discussion nights moved to Zoom and our outreach to social media. It was a challenge, but it brought many positive changes as well. The internet has no limits and we realized the potential it has.
