Fall 2024 Student Life Activities and Events
This holiday season, we have a wonderful opportunity to make a difference in the lives of children in foster care. Our CBS student ministries is collecting new, unwrapped toys to donate to children in need through the Be A Resource non-profit organization, dedicated to improving lives by providing hope and help for at-risk and CPS-involved children and their caretakers in the greater Houston area.

Monday, November 11 was Veterans Day, and here at CBS we want to continue celebrating the unique strengths that our student veterans bring to our academic community. Many have faced challenges that many of us can only imagine, and yet they continue to inspire us with their faithful work and exemplary Christian servant leadership.
CBS is proud of each one of you and grateful for the opportunity to support you on your academic journey. Thank you for your service and for the example you set for all of us.
