Campus Crusade (CRU)
CRU seeks to establish a biblically-based, Christ-centered, campus-wide movement, which will fulfill 2 capacities:
• First and foremost, it will be a spiritual resource for students who wish to learn more about and deepen their relationship with God as well as their relationships within the campus community, Christian and non-Christian alike.
• Secondly, CRU exists to equip and send out those who already have an established faith in God so that they might be able to communicate and share their faith in Christ with the campus and world communities.
Catholic Student Organization (CSO)
To bring together and enrich the experience of Catholic students, and the Student body as a whole by providing an opportunity to enrich our lives though faith, social, and community service events. Faith events include weekly Mass on campus, as well as providing rides to Mass in town, prayer services, praying the rosary, retreats, and faith discussions. Social activities provide opportunities to gather informally, and include holiday parties and the annual Fish Fry. Finally, community service events include a long-term project in addition to any short-term opportunities which may arise that would allow the group to benefit the campus, as well as the Hanover-Madison area.
