Pitt-Titusville Students Attend
Jubilee Conference - Jeff Ledebur
This past weekend members of Alpha Omega, traveled to Pittsburgh,
to attend the 40th Annual Jubilee Conference. Jubilee consists of
3,500 college students, most from mid-Atlantic colleges and
universities, who come together to learn how to integrate their faith
with their passions, calling, and vocation.
This year’s conference theme was, "Transform Everything"
encouraging students to be transformed so they might transform the
world in which we live through their careers, families, and passionate
pursuits. The conference takes students on the arc of faith; creation,
fall, redemption, and finally restoration.
Students who attended Jubilee had the opportunity to participate in
large and small group gatherings covering an array of topics including
politics, culture, social justice, health care, engineering, science,
poverty, sports and many other academic and humane issues.
The conference was broken into large group gatherings, with an
amazing variety of worship music and musicians, and smaller
breakout sessions. In addition to the gatherings and workshops,
students also had opportunities to visit the Hearts & Minds bookstore
and speak to over 30 venders who were promoting opportunities to
work at summer camps, support social and human rights, and explore
opportunities at higher education institutions and seminaries.
Some of this year's keynote speakers included: Eric Mason, pastor of Epiphany Church in
Philadelphia, Jena Lee Nardella, founder of Blood:Water Mission and author of “One Thousand
Wells: How an Audacious Goal Taught Me to Love the World Instead of Save It”, Rev. Rufus Smith
IV is the Senior Pastor of Hope Church in Memphis, Tennessee, and David Kinnaman, best-selling
author and president of the Barna Group, a visionary research and resource company.
Jubilee allows students the chance to explore their faith and education in a way they never have
before. “I loved the energy and the opportunity to worship with other students my age, I especially
enjoyed the breakout sessions and the movie, Unashamed, a documentary starring [the artist] Lecrae,”
said Imani Patterson. Jubilee, as well as many other Alpha Omega events, are open to all University
of Pittsburgh-Titusville students who are interested.
The Jubilee Conference is hosted by the Coalition for Christian Outreach (CCO). The CCO is a cam-
pus ministry that partners with churches, colleges and other organizations to help transform college
students to transform the world. The CCO is active on over 100 college campuses. To discover more

PittCat+ is an online catalog of the University of Pittsburgh libraries that eliminates the need to search for books and other materials in one database and for articles in separate databases. It allows more intuitive searching and provides search results similar to those of Yahoo and Google. Relevant results are achieved without the need to come up with a perfect search strategy. PittCat+ searches also include cover images of books, tables of contents, summaries and book reviews online for about one million books.
PITTCat Classic is the online catalog of the University of Pittsburgh libraries. Over 5 million titles can be found in Classic PITTCat including books, magazines and journals, microforms, dissertations, electronic resources, government documents, maps, musical scores, and audiovisual materials. The system can search for items owned by Haskell Library only or it can search for items owned by all libraries in the Pitt system. Items not located at Haskell Library can be borrowed from the owning library by clicking on the Get It! online link located on the item record screen. Allow 3-5 business days for delivery. Notification via email will be sent when the book is available for pickup at our library.
PALCI (EZ-Borrow) is an interlibrary lending system that is available to Pitt faculty, students, and staff. EZ-Borrow provides access to most academic library catalogs in Pennsylvania, as well as, a few academic libraries in New Jersey and West Virginia. If the University of Pittsburgh libraries do not own the book you need or if the book you need is currently checked out from a Pitt library, you can simultaneously search PALCI’s library catalogs. Books found there can be requested directly from the owning library via email. These items will be sent to UPT. Items borrowed from these other libraries can be picked up and returned at Haskell Memorial Library. Allow at least 4-7 business days for delivery. An email notification will be sent when the book is available for pickup. Two important things to remember about PALCI are that the system currently handles requests for books only and that a Pitt ID number is required to submit an online request.
