Pastoral Care and
Counseling
Help for students in need and the fostering of community awareness
are priorities for all those who work in the student affairs
division at the School of Mines. Campus religious organizations provide services
and volunteer opportunities for students in some very specific
ways, including:
- Food Pantry – a cabinet stocked with non-perishable food items
for students to take as needed. Visits are confidential.
- Grocery Certificates – vouchers that can be used for perishable
items at local grocery stores. Families with children have first
priority.
- Praxis – service learning program that encourages students to
volunteer in the community for credit in certain humanities
courses.
- English as a Second Language – tutoring provided through the
international student ministry to help students sharpen their
skills in English.
- Cross-Cultural Volunteering Opportunities – experiences in
helping and serving those in areas very different from the local
community (e.g., Urban Plunge in Denver, reservation trips,
international mission trip, coordinated activities with AISES,
National LSM gatherings and urban service, coordinated community
service activities with WOYATAN).
- Community Service – Angel Tree, blood drives, Habitat for
Humanity
- Pastoral Care and Spiritual Guidance – available for students
struggling with issues such as stress, relationships, and death;
LCM peer ministry, faculty and staff Pastoral care
