Millennials seek the spiritual in college experience
Research: Millennials desire that their college years be a time of spiritual development. “They want to be able to live
their lives and to offer them, if necessary, for
something worthy of sacrifice and service; and
they want to live so as to leave the world a
better place than the mess that they have
inherited.” Peter Gomes Harvard University
College Pastor for 20 years

Campus Compact Wingspread Declaration on Religion and Public Life: Engaging Higher
Education, July 2005
“Colleges and universities must explore new curricula and programs to consider a variety of worldviews, both secular and religious.”
“Programs designed to address student concerns regarding meaning, purpose, and integration of learning with religious worldviews, whether such programs be academic or non-academic parts of student life or a combination, should complement and enrich a student's disciplinary studies and educational experience.”

Service Learning as a Bridge
“Service-learning challenges students to
consider what they believe… and studies have
shown that service-learning impacts students’
spirituality and allows them to make the
connection between their personal faith and
values and their service to the community.”
Regan Schaffer, Pepperdine University
