Elders-on-Campus

College Elders have certain gifts for helping students live a well-balanced life. They help students walk the right path, and are available to share traditional teachings and to facilitate individual spirituality. They value honesty, respect, compassion, tolerance, kindness and patience in their communication with students and others. Elders listen, offer support, and guide students without judgment as they progress in their college journey. Their doors are always open to students seeking guidance and kinship.
