University Common Ministry

The Dean of Students' office realizes that for some students their spiritual growth is as important to them as their academic growth. The Dean of Students' office serves as a liaison between the university and this conglomerate of various campus ministry organizations. The University Common Ministry serves in a support and referral capacity for those students who find themselves in the need of spiritual counseling or guidance.
