Sharing the Love: Cardinal Couples Celebrate Valentine's Day
UIW is a home away from home for thousands of alumni and students, but for many, it’s also the place they found their life partners. During this Valentine’s Week, we caught up with Cardinal Couples of all ages and invited them to tell us more about the journey that lead them to the lives — and the loves — that God has prepared for them.
