Zen Den
A unique space on campus created to encourage students' general mental health, mindfulness, and relaxation. This space will be a space for a calm presence, where students can relax, unwind, and practice self-care. They can also be used by students as a place to escape the pressures of college.
Essential Elements of a College Zen Den

Campus Ministry
Campus Ministry offers a sacred space for relationship with God, with each other and ourselves. As our lives unfold, we may find ourselves asking, “Who am I?” What’s my purpose? Am I growing and changing for the better? Where is my life leading me?” In Campus Ministry, we explore these questions together as a community and as individuals.
