Catholic Student Association Steering Committee 

These are the ladies and gents behind all the great programs at the Newman Center.  The “SteerCo" as it’s informally called meets every Wednesday at 7pm in the Disciples Room.  The commitment to steering committee is one academic year.  

 

 

Newman Scholars 

This is a scholarship program to build leaders for the St. Thomas More Newman Center Parish and the larger Catholic Church.  Each academic year, 4-6 students are awarded $1,000 each and conduct a program in one of 5 areas of concentration: Evangelization, Laity in the Church, Religious Studies, Social Justice and Worship.  Applications are distributed in the Spring Semester prior to the year of the award and are open to all full-time students at the University of Missouri, Stephens College and Columbia College.  

 

MACCS: The Missouri Association of Catholic College Students   

MACCS is an annual conference that takes place in November to gather Catholic College Students from campuses throughout the state.  Student leaders are especially encouraged to take advantage of the opportunity to meet those making a difference at other colleges.  MACCS is designed and run each year by a core team of students from campuses all over Missouri. Our local Diocese of Jefferson City typically hosts the event and is proud of our long tradition of active core members and coordinators at the only annual statewide gathering of Catholic college students and Campus Ministers. 

 

CMLI: The Campus Ministry Leadership Institute 

Sponsored by the Catholic Campus Ministry Association and the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, this is an annual event to gather college students and campus ministers across the country to celebrate the successes of the young church, compare best practices and empower students for future growth.  Our Catholic Student Association received a generous grant from the UMC Organization Resource Group which will allow 4 students and a campus minister to attend this year.
