“Some people think they are in community, but they are only in proximity. True community requires commitment and openness. It is a willingness to extend yourself to encounter and know the other.”

-David Spangler

One of the best things about being in college is how many opportunities there are to find a community — a study group, a club, a campus organization, greek life. These occasions will just get harder to find when you graduate.

Don’t squander the chance while you still have it.

Do as much as you can to find community. Show up to your club’s campus events. Invite some people into a study group. You might not find it the first try, or even where you expect it, but I’m a true believer that there is a community waiting for everyone on campus.
