The Christian Thought & Leadership Living Learning Community welcomes first-year students who want to navigate their personal journey, explore faith, and develop much needed career and leadership skills. Participating students will be enrolled in two of their core course requirements as a community: the CSP Seminar and a required theology course. All first-year students are eligible to apply! This community is led by Student Life and the College of Humanities and Social Sciences.
In addition, this community offers students the opportunity to network with business, church, and community members, attend excursions throughout the Twin Cities, and connect with upperclassmen and CSP alumni. Students who select to join this community will be assigned to a housing spot in Hyatt Village, CSP’s suite style housing option with no price difference to the traditional first-year housing options.
