Spring 2016 · Torch: U.S.

Together at IU Again

It's not too long until we return to Indiana University in Bloomington. The theme for this year-- ubi concordia, ibi victoria-- describes successful conventions in the past. Once again, when we come together at national convention this summer, it will surely be a victorious time! Explore the beautiful campus of Indiana University in Bloomington during the week of convention, and learn why many people return every year. There are many activities to pick and choose from; there's something for everyone! Read on to learn what to expect at convention this summer.
