| ALIVE Team Apprentices
ALIVE Team apprenticeships are unique opportunities for first year students to grow in faith and leadership abilities, to meet new people with similar interests before classes even begin, and serve fellow students throughout the year.
What do apprentices do?
ALIVE Team apprentices are matched up with an upperclass student coordinator and assist in planning and running programs for the residence hall in which they live. The programs are intended to help students explore questions about values, beliefs, purpose and callings in life.
Most programs are spiritual in nature and are aimed at students of all faith backgrounds and points in spiritual development. Other programs are social in nature and are meant to build community within the hall and on campus. Check out examples of ALIVE team programs currently going on in the halls and sample posters from past programs.
