Notable Points:

• Even some of our best students in ministry can be unprepared to navigate life after college. How can we steward students’ time in college well to prepare them to live faithful lives, in all of life, for a lifetime?
• Senior EXIT is a yearlong experience for graduating seniors addressing the most pressing topics that graduates will face after leaving college. What is your strategy for proactively equipping seniors?
• This topic is so important that universities are beginning focus on life after college at an institutional level, yet campus ministries tend to still lag behind.
• The goal is not to help students avoid all obstacles, but to help them anticipate what the transition will be like, and how to honor God through it.
• Topics of Senior EXIT include: Finding Community, Finance, Relationships, Family, Worldview, and more.
