Campus Ministries

- Advisors for Spiritual Student Clubs and Organizations (Check out Roolife to see a list)
- Interfaith prayer services
- Connecting with the local churches, temples, mosques and synagogues
- Service projects (i.e. community service, soup kitchen, free will dinners, Adopt-A-Neighbor, Earth Day Activities and Blessing of Brains)
- Confidential spiritual guidance
- Educational programs
- Recreational and social events
