members of the university community to proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ while
respecting all religious traditions.
Campus
Ministry engages in University life through prayer, liturgy, community service,
and pastoral care. Campus ministry encourages the integration of personal faith
into the academic environment, promoting the Augustinian ideal of an
intellectual community seeking both wisdom and a fuller spiritual life.

and education for justice. Campus Ministry programs reflect the charisms of
Augustine and Thomas of Villanova who lived lives based on the search for truth,
wisdom, charity, and justice.

You know employers value Liberal Arts & Sciences majors, but the challenge is
in figuring out how to identify and promote the skills and talents developed in
your course of study. In addition to seeking out advice from professors, faculty
advisors, deans, and counseling advisors, career counselors are available at the

in choosing a major or exploring career options. Other services and programs are

pursue the plan successfully. Individual counseling is supplemented by workshops
such as resumé writing and interviewing skills. The Planning Your Future portion
of the website contains a Four Year Plan and What Can I Do With Major?

are varied and numerous. They work with students to create an individual who
maximizes the employment services: a campus interview program with over 350
employers, an online resume database, and job listings. These services are
