Religious clubs at NSU

College has a tendency to be associated with independence. Suddenly, after years of living under your parents’ household, you are finally striking out on your own. It can be a fantastic way to find your passions and beliefs. It can also be a great way to discover and define your religious beliefs.

For some, this could mean starting to identify with a religion that is completely different from the one you were brought into. For others, it could mean figuring out the specifics of a belief system you are already familiar with.

Miriam Zelden, from NSU’s Hillel, and Alonzo Williams, from NSU’s Everynation Campus Ministries, said that religion is all about self-discovery.

Listed below are some NSU organizations, listed alphabetically, and descriptions based on their Orgsync pages that may help you undertake this journey:
