Everything kicked off once again this year for IT Carlow's Alpha course! Since the Alpha course group is a recognised student society at the college, Portia was able to, once again, have an opportunity to connect with loads of incoming students who might be interested in participating this year.

She had a big sign at the table saying, "free pizza." Who doesn't love free food? Thursday night, the room was packed to the gills. People came from all walks of life, including a few Muslim students. Every scrap of pizza was devoured. It was the first "get-to-know-you" night, so everyone played charades and had a blast.

We are planning on having Students for Christ cover the cost of pizzas this semester. Thanks so much to everyone who supports us financially. That support makes groups like this possible!
