Education is not “just going to class,” according to Matthew Park, associate vice president of Student Affairs.
“Education means a lot more that just knowing what they read and learned in the book,” he said. “We want [students] to be responsible human beings who can communicate and who can think, who can work with a group. And some of those areas, I don’t think you necessarily learn in the traditional classroom environment. You can learn those in co-curriculum experiences as well. It’s a positive thing when students get involved, meaning they find something that they are passionate and interested in, and they pursue it.”

Every year students all over the country leave their homes to attend college. Quickly, however, new students often realize that college can be a lonely place. In particular, students that grew up going to church can feel like something is missing from their lives if they arrive at college and suddenly stop attending.

Among them, seven religious groups provide unique opportunities, including pushing the concept of community and simply being there for each other through the huge, potentially awkward growth process that is college.
