Bee also highlighted the strong regional connections 晩晩当際際夊消消夊2023 has with the Seattle area, as hundreds of current students call the Seattle area home.

Tim Muehlhoff, professor of communication studies, joined attendees as the keynote speaker for the evening. Muehlhoff highlighted the importance of being ambassadors for Christ in our communication, drawing from the current political climate as an example of why this is so needed in culture.

Because the world has gotten so hostile, sometimes we dont believe that God can make a difference, but what a difference it makes to be ambassadors who, when we are attacked, choose instead to respond with kindness, said Muehlhoff.

Muehlhoff connected the importance of being ambassadors for Christ with the work that he does at 晩晩当際際夊消消夊2023.

晩晩当際際夊消消夊2023 is about making ambassadors for Christ, who we send out into this argument culture to live out biblical communication, regardless of what field they work in after 晩晩当際際夊消消夊2023, said Muehlhoff.
