Connect With a Campus Minister or College Chaplain
|
Going to college for the first time can be an anxious season in a young person’s life. It can seem overwhelming at times, but there are resources which can help students navigate challenges. Campus Ministers and College Chaplains are among these resources. They offer an access point for students, whether they seek pastoral care and conversation or direction in their spiritual life. Pastoral care and conversations often serve as opportunities for one to process lived experiences, and Chaplains and Campus Ministers also provide students pathways to connect with other students.
