Stories from Campus

Even with all its historical significance, what Tuskegee University might not be known for — at least not yet — is revival. 

Behind every growing student leader is a campus staff minister. 

Paula, a Campus Staff Minister in Georgia, coached Adriana, a student who wanted to replant an InterVarsity Latino Fellowship (LaFe) chapter at Emory University. Because Paula lives several hours away, she used The Ministry Playbook — InterVarsity’s free digital resource for campus ministry training — to equip Adriana with the skills she needed to build a thriving chapter of 20 students.

Last spring, Laura, a volleyball player at Bucknell University,  felt God call her to start a Bible study for her teammates.  But partway through the semester, she struggled with  homesickness and considered transferring before starting it.

God’s Word transforms. You and I know this. And now Amber, a student at Santa Fe College, knows this too.

Coming into college, she carried deep pain. But God began showing Amber love and care through her school’s InterVarsity chapter, and her anxiety began to ease. She committed to exploring faith and attending the Urbana Student Missions Conference.

Daniel's Story

Daniel, a freshman at SUNY-Purchase, met some InterVarsity students at an outreach event on campus. They invited him to a pizza party that night. At the party Daniel told them, “I’m not a Christian, but I want to know more about how faith can be a part of my college life.” Later that evening, someone in the chapter shared the gospel with Daniel and he said ‘yes’ to following Jesus!
