What does a Typical Day in the Life of a Campus Minister Look Like?
You arrive at the Newman Center Pasadena at the agreed-upon time and begin with a 15-minute check-in with the Director to review action items for the day and preview plans for the week ahead. You then re-stock the refreshment table and fridge, ensuring the space is clean, welcoming, and ready to receive guests and visitors. Newcomers’ emails are added to our listserv, and you send out a personalized welcome message that includes information about our regular gatherings and upcoming events. You also check your email inbox to address any time-sensitive matters.
After lunch, you assist the Director in developing content and preparing materials for future programs and events. As evening approaches, you welcome participants arriving for our weekly book study, helping them feel at home. To close out the day, you tidy the space, take out the trash, arm the building alarm, and lock up before heading out.
