Commuter Assistants focus their efforts on connecting our commuter students to MU life and resources through effective communication and by delivering high-quality commuter focused events inside and out of the campus commuter lounge called the Den.

Spiritual Life Interns help create and lead Spiritual Life opportunities for students on campus. These opportunities include but are not limited to: Weekly Community Chapel, Agora (our student-led chapel), Circles (small groups), Day of Worship and Day of Outreach.
