The Student Activities Office accepts the challenge of equipping young people to be wise and faithful participants and leaders in contemporary society.
Calvin's approach to popular culture parallels the university's vision in all areas of creation: to be in the world, but not of the world. We're coming at culture with the idea of "Holy Worldliness" in mind, which seeks to be both holy and worldly simultaneously.
