Unity On Campus Ministry University Of Michigan and Eastern
Michigan University
Spring has sprung! Spring
is not just the time of tran-
sition of the seasons from
winter to spring, but also
transitions within many
lives. Students are transi-
tioning to new goals, from
class to vacation, from one year to the next, and other
students are beginning the transition from college to
life.
For Unity On Campus, we are supporting all of our stu-
dents through their own transitions while also guiding
them through their spiritual transitions. As the semes-
ter came to a close, we concluded the book study of “
Working With the Law” by Raymond Holliwell. Stu-
dents have applied, and continue to apply the principles
learned from our spiritual studies.
At the close of the semester Unity On Campus has three
students graduating and making their way into the
world of work. We support their ventures and know
that they are prospering.
As the students are making their transitions with the
spring season, Unity On Campus’ Board is doing so as
well; Spring has brought us a new board treasurer and
a new student representative. And we affirm we will
have a great school year beginning September, 2017.
Our Friends Reception, held April 2, 2017 not only to
honor and celebrate the student’s growth throughout
the year, but also to recognize all of our supporters who
help us continue and maintain this growth through do-
nations, affirmations, and prayers. We truly appreciate
all of you, including those who could not attend the
event. We would not be able to continue without your
support. Thank You.
Unity On Campus Board This Spring, Unity On Campus introduces
our featured board member. Ms. Pamela Griffin is our board
secre-tary. Ms. Griffin is a retired Human Resources Director and
an Attorney, who joined Detroit Unity Temple in 1989. At the time
she was looking for a community that
was set apart from the typical church; a community that welcomed
spiritual growth and was welcoming and non-judgmental. She joined
Unity On Campus (UOC) as secretary when she was approached by
Reverend E, as she believed UOC was a great spiritual opportunity
for students on the Eastern Michigan and University of Michigan
cam-puses. It was also an extra bonus that Ms. Griffin (no
relations to Rev. E) is an alumna from the University of Michigan.
She felt that the campus, both campuses needed a community like
Unity On Campus because the undergraduate college years are a
crucial time for students. Seeing that students are opened and
recep-tive to learning, taking the time to go and study, and use
tools to face challenges, a spiritual community like Unity is a
tool for students to face all of these challenges while continuing
and maintaining spiritual growth. We truly appreciate the
professional, dedicated ser-vices she brings to UOC. She brings
loving energy to this student ministry and helps to make the
ministry successful. Thanks, Ms. Griffin. We love and appreci-ate
you. In closing, affirm with me a simplified version of our Unity
principles: God is, I am; I think it, I pray it, I live it.
Have a blessed Spring!

Neftara Clark

Neftara was an original student organizer of Unity On Campus
Ministry at the University of Michigan in Decem-ber, 1998. She
became a dedicated Truth student, dedi-cated to her own spiritual
growth and became an excel-lent example and inspiration to her
peers. She assisted the ministry in finding meeting space on campus
when needed. At age 18, her body was diagnosed with Lupus. March
17, 2017, at age 38 her body surrendered to Lu-pus. Her legacy will
always remain in our hearts and be a blessing to each of us.
Godspeed.
