Grad Students/Young Adults
The CSC Grad Student and Young Adult Ministry (GSYA) strives to create intentional, authentic connections with one another and with Jesus Christ. Knowing that Grad Students and Young Adults have more life experience and, often, deeper questions about life and how their faith plays a part in their chosen careers, GSYA Ministry offers opportunities for prayer, service, and reflection - usually with a happy hour on the side! Join the GSYA Core Community!
Raise a glass and hang out with us at a Happy Hour and/or join our subject specific Lunchtime Conversations (ex/ Spirituality of Social Work, Faith and the Practice of Law, Art, Architecture, and the Divine).
Students from all area programs of study are welcome - you don’t have to be a WashU student to join us.
