2012-13 ALIVE Team

Become an ALIVE Team Apprentice!

ALIVE Team apprenticeships provide our first-year students with an amazing opportunity to grow in faith and leadership abilities, meet new people with similar interests before classes begin, and serve fellow students throughout the academic year.

What Do Apprentices Do?
Our ALIVE Team apprentices are matched up with an experienced student coordinator to assist with planning and conducting programs for the residence hall in which they live. The programs are intended to help students explore questions about values, beliefs, purpose and personal callings.

Most programs planned by the ALIVE Team are spiritual in nature and aimed at students of all faith backgrounds and perspectives. Other programs are social in nature and meant to build community within the hall and on campus.
