Student Campus Ministers
Student Ministers serve as liaisons between the student body and the Office of Mission & Ministry. They play a vital role in programming for students, coordinating local service projects, and helping out on various departmental programs. As leaders of faith, they are available to assist students with various needs that may arise and are integral in connecting students with various resources at Iona.
The Student Ministers can be contacted through the Office of Mission & Ministry or via email.
Iona’s focus on care of the whole person has helped me grow in my Catholic faith, complete service for the needs of others and guarantee my post-graduation success.
