Campus Theme

North Park's Campus Theme Program is an effort to focus campus events and community dialogue on some of life's great questions. Through our extracurricular programming we seek to cultivate an interrelated learning community and uphold personal concern for students as whole persons whose learning occurs in a variety of settings. Among the benefits of the Campus Theme Program are:

•  An enriched student educational experience which unifies academic and co-curricular programs;

•  An enlivened sense of community at North Park, stemming from a diverse consideration of a unified theme;

•  Strengthened ties with North Park's surrounding communities through shared programming and mutually beneficial relationships.

Each year's campus theme is based on one or more of the North Park Dialogue questions and includes a wide variety of forums including lectures, artistic events, film festivals, outreach opportunities, chapel services, and residence hall community development programs.
