It's that time of year again to update your fellowship's information on our site! We would like to ensure that those looking for a fellowship at UCSF will have the latest information on whom to contact in your fellowship and what your ministry is all about. Please contact me with any updates to your fellowship.David Younghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16757270705896494512noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17623162.post-67721207295618511772010-05-08T10:31:00.000-07:002010-05-08T10:31:33.604-07:00Veritas Forum 2010This year we hosted our 2nd Veritas Forum at UCSF with Dr. Ard Louis from Oxford University. Ard made the circuit at Stanford and UCSF, and we had the privilege of hearing his perspective on whether "Science Can Explain Everything?" His reasoning from acknowledging the limits of science and what he calls "tapestry arguments" provide a compelling view on how to manage the questions of life that can be informed by but not completely answered by science alone. If you missed the discussion or would like to recap, you can watch it all from the comfort of home:<br />

If you missed that talk or would like to recap on what you saw, Veritas has posted a recording of the talk on their website. Veritas has completely redone their website so that you can watch the video directly from their site a lo youtube! We hope you'll enjoy the conversation and that it will prompt discussion for years to come.<br />

Newsome is <a href="http://monkeybiz.stanford.edu/">chair of neurobiology</a> at Stanford and renowned for both his work on the intersection of primate research and ethics and the intersection of science and faith. At our forum, he'll be talking on the latter:<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Science and faith: the vantage point of one neuroscientist</span><br /><blockquote><br />I am a practicing scientist and a practicing Christian—commitments that are inconsistent in the minds of many. While I encounter tension at times between my science and my faith, my overwhelming belief is that both science and faith contribute critically to a meaningful, fully-experienced human life. Giving up either would result in a regrettable loss of understanding, depth of experience, and simple joy in my life. I believe that much of the perceived incompatibility between science and religion is specious, although real tensions do exist. In this talk I will lay out the central issues from my point of view, hoping to dispel some of the false conflicts between science and faith while bringing into focus real choices that need to be made.</blockquote><br /><br />You can find our more about his <a href="http://www.pnas.org/content/102/3/521.full">research</a> as an <a href="http://www.hhmi.org/research/investigators/newsome_bio.html">HHMI investigator</a> as well as his <a href="http://www.brainconnection.com/topics/?main=conv/newsome">life history and scientific career path</a>. And of course, a <a href="http://www.gfcf-ubc.ca/2008_2009_lectures.htm">sample</a> of one of his talks at a Christian conference (scroll down).<br /><br />The event's on May 5th (that's right, <span style="font-weight: bold;">¡Cinco de mayo!</span>) at 6pm, in Cole Hall at UCSF (<a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=513+parnassus+ave,+san+francisco&sll=37.762861,-122.459536&sspn=0.010059,0.014269&ie=UTF8&ll=37.76432,-122.458313&spn=0.010466,0.014269&z=16&iwloc=r12">513 Parnassus Ave, San Francisco</a>).

In the process however our website has been temporarily dismantled, and we are looking for a new host that will allow us to use our customized website. We do not yet have access to edit <a href="http://rco.ucsf.edu/index.php/ccf/index/">our CCF OSL page</a>, but when we do, we'll provide information on finding our new site. And of course we'll keep you updated here.David Younghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16757270705896494512noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17623162.post-83841591745636693252008-07-08T23:39:00.000-07:002012-04-02T23:59:37.702-07:00Veritas Forum Coming to UCSF<a href="http://www.veritas.org/">Veritas Forum</a> is a national event-oriented organization focused on creating events on campuses addressing the tough questions regarding life and faith. Our neighboring universities recently hosted Francis Collins and Tim Keller during campus events designed to engage their student bodies on theistic evolution ("biologos") and the reason for God in the face of seemingly perpetual doubt. And now Veristas is coming to UCSF!<br /><br />Our campus is uniquely positioned as a graduate health sciences campus to focus on the demanding scientific or philosophical questions that crop up regarding our faith. We as a student community have the opportunity to design a topic that we feel would engage the community, invite a speaker who could communicate the issues and its relevance to Jesus in our lives, and create an atmosphere for open and honest discussion with our friends and colleagues.<br /><br />As an event for the campus, Veritas would be best planned by the campus fellowships. If you or interested members of your fellowships would like to attend our first planning meeting, on July 14, 7pm, <a href="https://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?key=pfGWjS9rZ4vSxHVhYrGGdOQ&email=true">please let us know</a>, and we would be happy to get you more information and answer any of your questions.David Younghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16757270705896494512noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17623162.post-65651502832427904272007-11-13T01:12:00.000-08:002007-11-13T01:14:49.169-08:00"World's Largest Medical Missions Conference Opens"From <a href="http://www.christianpost.com/">The Christian Post</a> (11/9/07):<br /><p>"The world’s largest medical missions conference opened Thursday, welcoming an estimated 3,000 people interested in ministering through medicine.</p> <p>Christians from throughout the world converged in Louisville, Ky., for the 12th Global Missions Health Conference to network, train and strategize on how to better carry out the Great Commission and recruit the next generation of healthcare missionaries."</p><a href="http://www.christianpost.com/article/20071109/30012_World%27s_Largest_Medical_Missions_Conference_Opens.htm">Read on...</a>David Younghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16757270705896494512noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17623162.post-90229132347272978402007-10-02T10:07:00.000-07:002007-10-02T10:20:00.765-07:00A Few New FeaturesA few new features have been added to allow more up-to-date fellowship content. On the <a href="http://ucsf.edu/ccf/">frontpage</a> you'll notice the Fellowships Calendar, a single calendar integrating schedules from a variety of fellowships. If you hop over to the <a href="http://ucsf.edu/ccf/fellowships-iframe.html">Fellowships</a> page, one subtle improvement is the enablement of javascript content in the main content area. What this means is that fellowships can add dynamic content, such as more calendars, slideshows, etc, right in their group's area.<br /><br />If your fellowship has a Google calendar, I'd be happy to add it to the Fellowships Calendar. I can also add other javascript content to your area on the Fellowships page as well as any other updates for your group. A note has been added on the <a href="http://ucsf.edu/ccf/resources.html">Resources</a> page about how to keep your group's info up-to-date.<br /><br />Thanks for your contribution to the website!David Younghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16757270705896494512noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17623162.post-72047611514208272142007-08-06T18:24:00.001-07:002007-08-06T18:42:30.934-07:00Welcome to the New CCF WebsiteYes! Refreshed! The <a href="http://www.ucsf.edu/ccf">CCF website</a> has undergone a complete overhaul ahead of the upcoming school year. My hope is that the website combines the familiar structure of the old site, plus new features to make it even easier to get acquainted with the fellowships here at UCSF!<br /><br />A couple highlights from the new site:<br /><ul><li><span style="font-weight: bold;">Fellowship Browser</span>: Right on the <a href="http://www.ucsf.edu/ccf/">homepage</a> you can browse through the various fellowships. Find out what day of the week they meet, learn their vision, and click the link to more info on the Fellowships page! If you lead a fellowship, you can add your fellowship, too.<br /></li><li><span style="font-weight: bold;">Blog and Discussion Feeds</span>: CCF has both the blog you're reading now and <a href="http://groups.google.com/group/ccfucsf">a Google Group</a> that you can browser and post to. The latest posts are fed right onto the CCF site.<br /></li><li><span style="font-weight: bold;">CCF FAQ</span>: Always wonder what CCF is? Now you can get the scoop on the <a href="http://www.ucsf.edu/ccf/index.html?1">About</a> page.</li><li><span style="font-weight: bold;">CCF Fellowship Leaders Google Group</span>: Leading a fellowship can at times be isolation. Over the next year I hope that leaders from different fellowships at UCSF can meet and begin to encourage one another. One way to keep in touch is via <a href="http://groups.google.com/group/thecampus">an online, private community group for leaders</a>.<br /></li><li><span style="font-weight: bold;">Faster website loading, easier navigation</span>: My hope is that the site is quicker to navigate through and easier to find what you're looking for.</li></ul>As usual, I appreciate any and all feedback on the website and how I can make it more useful to you and your ministry!David Younghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16757270705896494512noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17623162.post-22625986836851988162007-07-19T10:14:00.000-07:002007-07-19T10:27:13.025-07:00Website Beta Status UpdateA week ago we announced the launch of our CCF website beta sneakpeak, where you could watch the progress of our website overhaul. Not much was there to start with, but we've done considerable work to the front page over the past few days. You can take a peak for yourself at <a href="http://www.ucsf.edu/ccf/beta">http://www.ucsf.edu/ccf/beta</a>.<br /><br />A few highlights:<br /><ul><li><span style="font-weight: bold;">Fellowships Catalog</span>: Since CCF is about fellowships, we wanted to put a fellowships catalog right in the front page. More tabs will be added to provide a quick, encapsulated view of each fellowship on campus.</li><li><span style="font-weight: bold;">Tabbed Page Nav</span>: We've taken advantage of AJAX scripts to provide a tabbed-style navigation that brings you straight to the content of each page, without having to reload the whole page. The hope is that navigation among pages will be quick and seamless. Right now it's just the front page, but please keep your eyes peeled for more content to come.<br /></li><li><span style="font-weight: bold;">Sidebar Sidekick</span>: After playing around with different sidebar implementations, we're trying out a simpler interface.

Veritas started at Harvard in 1992 and has held events at institutions ranging from Columbia and MIT to CalPoly and UC Berkeley. Mostly focusing on undergrads, Veritas is beginning to branch out to the grad community with UCSF.<br /><br />The topic this year is, "Suffering: Where is God in all of this?" A panel of guest speakers will share from their perspectives on suffering, followed by an open discussion from the audience. Plans are in the works for a cafe outreach afterward.<br /><br />All are invited to attend the planning process this Winter and Spring. <a href="http://xanga.com/ucsfcmda">CMDA</a> is hosting the event and has scheduled planning meetings for 2/28 (S-163) and 3/6 (Nursetaria).

If you could briefly answer any one of the following<br />questions (eg 1-2 sentences), we'll add it to the page sidebars.<br /><br />-What's been one of your biggest sources of encouragement this year?<br />-How has God used other brothers/sisters to challenge you at UCSF?<br />-What one spiritual tip would you give to someone new to UCSF?<br />-How did you pick a church in SF?<br /><br />...or anything else that God may lead you to share.<br /><br />Thanks!

It’s this awesome, awesome mission’s conference that InterVarsity puts on for students. It usually happens at University of Illinois-Urbana, but this year it’ll be in St. Louis Missouri. It only happens every 3 years and usually there’s 20,000 students from around North America.<br /><br />The website is <a href="http://www.urbana.org">www.urbana.org</a><br /><br />The early bird registration deadline is October 15 and the conference is December 27-31. (You actually get to count down to the new year with everyone and have an awesome praise session before and after).<br /><br />But anyway, think and pray about it. This is what got me to get involved with cross-cultural missions. Hope you can do this year. J<br /><br />Love, RozDavid Younghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16757270705896494512noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17623162.post-1135040176221025932005-12-19T16:43:00.000-08:002005-12-19T16:56:16.230-08:00CCF Website Goes Live!Just in time for Christmas, the CCF website has officially gone live!
