On Thursday, October 20th, Rocky Mountain PBS premiered an episode of Colorado Voices titled "A New Chapter," which highlights the historic gathering at Iliff in April 2022 with a delegation of Lenape Elders on the “Iliff book," a book written in Latin on the history of Christianity which was bound in the skin of a murdered Lenape man.

You can watch the documentary “Colorado Voices: A New Chapter” via this link.

Every year, the Iliff Enrollment Team travels across the US to meet prospective students and attend events and fairs. And we may be making our way to a city near you or an event you're planning to attend!

In the coming months, the Iliff Enrollment Team will be visiting:

Denver, CO for the American Academy of Religion gathering

Atlanta, GA for the Samuel DeWitt Proctor Conference

Will you be attending either conference? Come say hello! We would love to see you.
