EVENTS AND OPPORTUNITIES

Upcoming Events:

It's quiet during the summer, but come fall, look for us at welcome events like the Husky Fest, and visit our new location in the Woodbury Campus Center, with an office for meeting with any of our Chaplains or Advisors or for small groups, and with a room set aside for prayer or meditation for any member of the USM community, from any religious or spiritual background or perspective!
