The heavy rain that had started the night prior ceased 10 minutes before the gates opened, just in time for the roughly 1,000 students arriving for the new student Luau hosted by the Catholic Campus Ministry Center at George Mason University in Fairfax last month. Months of planning lead up to the Luau, but as students flooded in, filling out raffle tickets, sipping sodas and tossing frisbees, the hard work for the campus ministry staff organizing the event was just starting.
