This student organization is committed to helping the Pacific Islander students successfully attain their academic, spiritual, and ministerial goals by supporting its members in positively participating in all academic and social activities held at CST; effectively sharing information on their campus life, study and ministry; and engage in uplifting worship and fellowship. PISA aims to establish relationships with other student organizations to promote school spirit and personal pride.
We will develop a program that enhances the leadership capacity of CSTBayan students, strengthens the bonds of community across faith traditions, and addresses social justice issues through outreach and collaboration. We aspire to create a spiritual revitalizing environment for Muslim students on campus, to strengthen the wider Muslim community through service, education and activism, and to contribute to the overall fabric of campus life at the Claremont School of Theology.
The Committee is made up of current students and plans activities throughout the year including religious observances from particular traditions, interfaith worship and ritual, times for interreligious dialogue, as well as hosts visitors from the surrounding area to facilitate conversation.
The Council encourages participation by all constituencies within the School’s student body and works to facilitate communication and understanding between students, faculty, staff, and administration. Meetings are open to all currently enrolled CST students.
The Student Council appoints students to the faculty committees that oversee the degree programs of the School, and to certain administrative committees. The Student Council hears student concerns and carries the student voice within the School’s governance. The Council also sponsors programs and activities for the entire CST community.
Students Groups
Student groups form and change along with the interests of the current student body. The following is a list of current student groups on campus. If you are interested in starting a new student organization, please contact the Office of Student and Community Life.
The Office of Student and Community Life, with input from the Committee on Community Life, oversees the budget process for student organizations on campus so that students have funding for activities. There is always a lot to do!
