This Year’s Common Ground is Filled with “A New Hope”

Our annual Common Ground event kicks off next week. As usual, the UWest Chaplaincy Club will lead the opening ceremony. The keynote speaker this year will be UWest alum, David Woo.

David is a Spiritual Care Provider at Homeboy Industries and Buddhist Seminarian. He is no stranger to our UWest community, having participated in and led many events in the past. He is an advocate for social justice and a wonderful representative of our school’s values. We are proud to have him keynote this year’s opening ceremony.
