Virtual Lopes Lead with Character

Hosted by Dr. Crystal McCabe and Dr. Kimber Underdown, the Lopes Lead with Character virtual sessions are monthly online workshops designed to help students explore and grow in character. Each session offers a welcoming space for students to build community through meaningful discussions on a variety of character-focused topics. It’s more than a conversation; it’s an opportunity to learn what it truly means to model character in everyday life. Please note that the virtual sessions are for enrolled GCU students only. Check back regularly for updated flyers and meeting information. We look forward to connecting with you!

❄️ Shining Bright: Virtues That Spark the Season


As the year comes to a close, it’s easy to feel worn out by deadlines, finals, and the fast pace of life. But December reminds us that even in the busiest moments, our virtues can shine brightest. Join us for “Shining Bright: Virtues That Spark the Season,” a virtual gathering focused on cultivating hope, perseverance, joy, and generosity, the guiding lights that help us finish strong and start the new year inspired.

In this uplifting, interactive session, we’ll share ways to nurture positive energy, practice self-discipline with kindness, and spread joy through giving, no matter where we are. Whether you need a motivational boost before your course ends or just want to end the year on a feel-good note, this event will help you reconnect with purpose, positivity, and people.
