Consortium of Christian Study Centers Cultivating thoughtful Christian presence at colleges and universities around the world

09/14/2026

We're wishing a wonderful academic year to all the new and returning students who have been arriving on campuses and walking through the doors of Christian Study Centers across the country in recent weeks. A special welcome to the class of 2030! Here's to an exciting year of learning and growth.

As we head into the new school year, we are warmly remembering our time gathered together over the summer at the 2026 Annual Meeting at Upper House in Madison. We hope you feel (as one of our directors put it) "better equipped—in mind, heart, and soul—to lead" as a result of the encouragement, resources, and connections gained from our time together.

Jacob officially completed the requirements for his B.A. degrees in Psychology and Sociology, earning his freedom from undergraduate life at last. He hopes to eventually pursue a master’s degree in Urban Planning or Urban Policy, with the goal of helping design cities that prioritize quality of life for all people, regardless of demographic background. During his time at the University of Miami, he spent much of his free time exploring the city of Miami — especially Wynwood, Little Havana, and Brickell — while staying active through beach volleyball and training for a lifeguard position in the Outer Banks that ultimately fell through. After transferring to Hope College, he immersed himself in neuroscience, psychology, and institutional research labs, while also serving during the summers as a camp counselor and Events & Conferences Coordinator. In addition, he worked with Campus Ministries and was grateful for opportunities to serve foster children through a local nonprofit. He is deeply thankful for the opportunity to continue serving universities and their surrounding communities through Christian fellowship and community. Jacob is a Sayers Fellow at Hill House, University of Texas Austin.

Our next fellow is Jack Foster. Jack hails from the wilderness of northwest Wisconsin where he grew up fighting off everything from kill-you-cold temperatures to run away pigs. After surviving high school, he made his way to the distant land of western Pennsylvania where he attended Geneva College and studied literature and philosophy. His passions are wide and varied, from writing poetry and drinking tea to playing volleyball and doing jujitsu. He’ll do pretty much anything so long as someone does it with him. Jack is a Sayers Fellow at Beatrice Institute at the University of Pittsburgh & Carnegie Mellon University.
