9/26/2007
Rachel AoughstenThis fall, two incoming freshmen Matt Wood and Rachel Aoughsten, will receive a newly funded four-year Faith and Life Scholarship. The scholarship is designed to build a cohesive team of service-based student leaders who will enhance the services and ministries offered by the Campus Ministry Office and help create a strong community among all on campus.

“I’m looking forward to this new development in Campus Ministry, which incorporates our students in a deeper way and helps them build the connection between faith and life during their college process,” Sister Maura Behrenfeld, director of Campus Ministry, said.

Matt WoodThe scholarship requires Wood, a theology and philosophy major, and Aoughsten, an international studies major, to participate in various campus ministry and student life events including retreats, lectures and campus- wide events.

Recipients are required to live on campus and write a summary of their year-long experiences.

“I liked UST because it is a small community that will help me come out of my shell,” Aoughsten said.
