Benefits of Participating

People thrive when their everyday activities are consistent with what they value most and with what gives them a sense of meaning and purpose. By participating, you'll help foster a campus community where all members are and feel respected, have a sense of belonging, and are able to participate and achieve to their potential.

When we find our “why” we learn to appreciate what is truly meaningful and important in life and are better able to change situations both in our personal lives and on a larger scale.
