Dear Eagles,
As we head into the holidays, BC Dining has prepared a special menu for Passover and there will be Easter brunch and dinner in McElroy. Be sure to
follow @BCDining for updates. Additionally, Campus Ministry and C21 has a full lineup of events for the Lenten season and Holy Week.
To close out Women’s History Month, I encourage you to stop by the Women’s Center tomorrow for their open house and be sure to check out some upcoming lectures and events under our Academic section.
Enjoy the break! I look forward to seeing everyone back on campus next week as we begin the home stretch—stay tuned for more Mile 21 updates!
Yours in Community,

Academic Highlights
Boisi Center for Religion and American Public Life
Dmytro Vovk: President Zelensky, Religion, and the War
The relations between the Ukrainian state and religion have always been heavily personalized. Since independence, they have been determined not so much by constitutional protections or legal regulations and procedures but more by religions’ political connections and their ability to transform these connections into benefits and advantages on Ukraine’s highly competitive religious market.
This has made personal religious attitudes and preferences possessed by key political actors, and, first of all, by the Ukrainian President, extremely important for the model of the country’s religion-state relations.
