Life at MVNU

Explore student life beyond the classroom and get ready to grow personally, professionally, and spiritually.

Student Life

Find your passions. Find your friends. Find yourself at MVNU. Discover the beauty of who you were uniquely created to be and build community with like-spirited students who seek to learn and serve in Jesus’ name.

Life at MVNU goes way beyond the books. You’ll have every opportunity to get involved in campus activities that will enrich your experience as a student. Join one of the more than 50 student-led clubs and organizations (or start one of your own!). Engage in a little friendly (and free!) athletic competition by participating in intramurals. Rent a kayak or bike from our REC for a day on the Kokosing river or trail with friends. Plug into a small group, a CoSMO service project, or an international mission trip. Faith, fun, and adventure await!
