Counseling

Wrestling with Tough Questions

Questions will come in college. Of course, that is what you want. If you knew all the answers, why would you come here? Will Rogers once said that he believed in college because it gets the kids out of the house right when they start asking the really hard questions.

All of us want a safe place to ask our most important questions. Who am I going to be? What am I going to do? These are not only practical questions, but spiritual ones as well.

All the campus ministers are available to you to reflect on these important questions. While you will have to answer your questions for yourself, you don't have to struggle with them by yourself. Along with campus ministers, your faculty advisors, resident advisors, student affairs staff, and the counseling center are available to you.

In religious life, we believe that the calling of a college student is just that, to be a student. Organizing yourself for study, studying, attending classes and academic events are not only academic requirements, but can be spiritual disciplines as well.

So welcome to this place. Your mind will be challenged, your social life will expand and your daily rhythms will change. In the midst of the busyness, remember the yearnings of your spirit, the desires of your heart.

“In quietness and in trust shall be your strength”
Isaiah 30:15
