Penn State is a big place and there are plenty of opportunities to be part of the nameless crowd. Lutheran Student Community will give you a chance for community, where people talk, listen, and share the challenges and joys of campus life. You will find people who care, who are willing to share their ideas and experiences, and a community of faith that welcomes everyone. Check it out!
Welcome!
We are glad to that you are here at PSU (or will be in a day or so) and hope you will make time to check out the things Lutheran Campus Ministry has to offer while you are on campus.
