Congratulate University Pastor Drew Tucker on the publication of his first book, “4D Formation: Exploring Vocation in Community,” at a book signing and reception. The book builds on Tucker’s definition of “vocation” as "meaningful, life-giving work for the world." Speaking directly to vocational explorers, he equips and empowers readers with the confidence and skills to examine, clarify, and affirm their purpose and identity, and ultimately to experience God's presence in and purpose for their lives.

While Capital may not have a marching band, students Corbin Russ, Olivia Carruthers, and Luke Atkins are making music on the football field with The Best Damn Band in the Land. You can read all about how they toot their horns for the Scarlet and Gray on Buckeye Football Saturdays in a recent feature in Capital Stories.

Visit www.capital.edu/stories to read these stories and more – or to learn how you can tell your own story, whether it’s reflective, creative, memory-evoking, funny, poetic, or persuasive. It doesn’t have to be long; if accepted for publication, 750 words – give or take a hundred – would be perfect. And while we want to read your words, maybe it’s a video, a powerful photo, or a series of photos that best tell your Capital story.

If your story is published, we’ll give credit where credit is due by including your byline. Contact Denise Russell, director of Communications, for more information. Subscribe and receive monthly emails with the latest posts. https://stories.capital.edu/subscribe/.
