Community Association of PSR (CAPSR)


What is CAPSR?

The Community Association of PSR (CAPSR) is made up of the whole PSR student community. All students registered in PSR programs and their partners and families are CAPSR members. The Association's activities, events, and programs are spearheaded by CAPSR Council.

CAPSR Council

CAPSR Council’s mission is to serve as the organizing and facilitating body within the PSR community by:

  • providing a continuing connection between CAPSR and other PSR constituencies;
  • empowering students to take action in community building and problem solving;
  • advocating for cooperative solutions to members’ questions, suggestions, and concerns;
  • encouraging learning and enrichment outside the classroom.

CAPSR Council meets regularly and oversees the activities and concerns of CAPSR. Meetings are open to the community. For more details, contact capsr@psr.edu.

Student Representatives

The Council also assists in the selection of students to represent CAPSR on the school's faculty, trustee, and other administrative committees, and provides a student voice in campus issues and policy decisions.

What does CAPSR Council Do? 

The mission of CAPSR Council is twofold:

  • To facilitate communication between various members of the PSR community, particularly among students and between students and PSR’s administration; and
  • To strengthen the bonds between members of the PSR community through community-oriented activities and events.

What that looks like in any given semester varies, of course. Last semester (Spring 2011) the Council facilitated a Town Hall meeting between the administration and members of the wider PSR community, the transcript of which is available here. This semester, we will be hosting a follow-up Town Hall on December 1. Contact us for more information!

Historically, CAPSR Council has overseen the publication and distribution of LOGOS, the student newsletter of PSR. For more information, click here. 

Each year CAPSR allocates a certain portion of CAPSR fees for student
scholarships. These scholarships help students attend conferences and
denominational meetings or participate in extra curricular activities
that relate to their vocational goals. Students who receive funds are
encouraged to provide information, enrichment, and new perspectives to
the PSR community based on the learning they gained through the use of
their scholarship. Scholarship guidelines and forms are available on the
table next to the PSR reception desk or through the links below, which
are downloadable PDFs.

    Each year CAPSR also allocates a certain portion of CAPSR fees for student
    group grants.     These grants are available for student groups when they
    are planning an  event or activity. Only recognized student groups or
    organizations are elegable for these grants. Refer to the Student Group
