Annual Soup & Hope speaker series to kick off Jan. 23
By Laura Gallup, Student and Campus Life
The 18th annual Soup & Hope speaker series returns to Sage Chapel on Jan. 23, spotlighting six Cornell staff, faculty and student storytellers who will share their experiences overcoming life’s challenges while attendees enjoy a free meal of soup and bread.
The series is open to the public; no registration is needed. The six talks will take place Thursdays through March 27, from noon to 1 p.m.
“Cornell is a big campus, and Soup & Hope provides opportunity for us to come together to hear inspiring stories from amazing Cornellians who serve in different roles, who represent different cultures and communities and who have vastly different life experiences,” said Joel Harter, director of the Office of Spirituality and Meaning-Making, a co-sponsor of the series, and Cornell United Religious Work.
