• sharing in the lives of those living in poverty through short-term service projects and living experiences;
• reflecting critically on issues of faith and justice;
• being exposed to the wonderful diversity of God's creations through an encounter with those living in a culture different from their own;
• offering their skills, resources, and gifts for the purpose of creating a more just world;
• Campus Ministry's mission to integrate faith and justice, a vision of spiritual life articulated in the gospel message and the church's call for a “preferential option for the poor";
• opportunities to implement experience into social justice endeavors back home.
