Attention, Class of 2030! NOW is the time to apply to Encounter, Campus Ministry’s pre-orientation program for students of ALL identities and backgrounds. You’ll spend a week building community and friendships with your fellow incoming students before classes and New Student Orientation even begins.
We'll equip you with important skills for having dialogues across differences, and you'll get lots of face time with Campus Ministry's chaplains. Plus: we’ll spend two nights relaxing at the beautiful Calcagnini Contemplative Center, our retreat center in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Applications are due Sunday, June 7. Find the application at the link in our bio!
