Good working relationships with campus administration are crucial to the ministry of InterVarsity. Late this fall, Maria Rolland, campus staff at Lindenwood University in St Charles, Missouri had the chance to meet up with the director of the English as a Second Language (ESL) department and another professor. They both happen to be Christians and are very excited about partnering with InterVarsity to help serve ESL students.
As a result of this interaction, InterVarsity graduate student, Tolis, and volunteer,Kim, will be leading a culture shock presentation for new international students in January. This is a wonderful opportunity to make these new students feel welcome and begin building relationships from day one.
