Student Groups
The majority of community building efforts at PSR are student-led. The Office of Community Life and the CAPSR Council (Community Association of PSR) encourages and supports students to form interest and support groups that would become their network of support while they are in their academic program. The Office of Community Life provides logistical support (e.g., how to organize events at PSR) as well as workshops that provides practical leadership skills to student organizers. The CAPSR council, on the other hand, provides financial support and advocates for the needs of student groups.
Student interest and support groups are diverse. The gifts that student organizers bring into community building are rooted in their passion and interest--or those that "kindle love" in them (to use St. Theresa of Avila's words).
