Bulldogs4Life members attend Washington, D.C. March for Life
Seward, NE (02/02/2026) — 66 Concordia University, Nebraska students attended the March for Life in Washington, D.C. on January 23.
In addition to the 66 students, the group also consisted of two chaperones, one adult who joined for fun and two college students who do not attend Concordia, making a group of 71 people, which was a little larger than the 2025 March attendance.
The group left for Washington, D.C. on January 22 and returned on January 24. After their flight on Thursday, they participated in devotions, a session led by Dr. Donna Harrison, a Compline service and an event specifically for college students.
Prior to the March on Friday, the group attended a second session led by Mr. Ryan Bomberger, a devotion by Rev. Harrison Goodman, and a preparation session led by Mrs. Michelle Bauman. The March for Life rally and march occurred on Friday afternoon. The group attended a third session that night in the form of a panel discussion with Mr. Ryan Bomberger, Rev. Todd Peperkorn, Dr. Beverly Yanke and Rev. Harrison Goodman.
The trip was organized and led by the on-campus club, Bulldogs4Life. President Autumn Consier was responsible for leading the group through the event. Consier said that the conference and the march went well, despite travel complications with the trip.
"The conference and the march itself went very well!" she said. "The students enjoyed the speakers, and they had a lot of great things to say about them. The march was successful, and the whole time we marched, we sang hymns as a big group."
