Each month, the President's Council accepts nominations for the award that recognizes department workers for their stellar work. Campus Ministry was honored by the council and received the traveling trophy to which they will add their decorative touch.

Campus Ministry coordinator Kelly Youngblood serves as the lone paid employee of the department, however, she says she could do it with the help of others. They include Steve Smith, chair of the Religion and Philosophy Department,who Youngblood says is greatly involved.
"Alicia Danielson, who does some Campus Ministry work through work study, Nancy Farndale, who is the organist/pianist and Mamisoa Ranaivoson, Christine Wellendorf, Dayv Raleigh, Kellie Grunzke and Jon Aguilar who also provide music at times," are also instrumental to the success of the program, Youngblood said.
Her duties with the Campus Ministry are "to provide a variety of Christian experiences on campus as well as a spring break missions trip." Youngblood works about 10 hours a week, typically on Wednesday and Thursday mornings. She says the ministry offers some type of worship service each day of the week. She indicated about 50 or so students attend services throughout the week.
The schedule is:
* Monday: Chapel
* Tuesday: Exit to Hope
* Wednesday: Chapel
* Thursday: Catholic Mass
* Friday: Holden Evening Prayer
Youngblood says the student-led Exit to Hope is the most popular service. She hopes to implement more popular opportunities for students to worship next year
