Student Life

A college education should be more than the sum of one’s classes. The college experience should include intentional opportunities to apply what one has learned and reflect on its impact. It should include intentional friendships built on the foundation of faith. It should include the support and challenges of being intentional together as a community of believers whose identity is in Christ.

Being intentional is how student life enhances the college experience at Taylor University Fort Wayne. Intentional…about preparation for God’s calling, about allowing the Holy Spirit to guide your spiritual formation, about building relationships and community, about integrity and accountability, about serving each other in leadership and involvement, about growing and learning together in Christ. This is what student life at TUFW is intended to be. Opportunities for intentional student life can be found in a variety of services and programs.

  • Student Services – From new student orientation to career planning and preparation, student services are available to help you make the most of your TUFW experience. Counseling, health services, and campus safety are just some of the services offered.
  • Residence Life – For those who live on campus, the TUFW experience can be very comprehensive. Learn about the philosophy of residence life, answers to frequently asked questions, campus facilities and personnel behind the programs.
  • Commuter Students – Whether traditional age students living at home or older students on their own, for those students who live off campus and drive to classes each day the TUFW experience can be equally comprehensive. Find out what specific support systems can help you make the most of your TUFW experience.
  • Student Programs – A variety of activities and leadership development opportunities enable students to build memories and relationships for a lifetime.
  • Student Ministries – From thrice-weekly chapel programs on campus to short term mission trips in other countries, student ministries provides intentional opportunities for spiritual formation and the application of biblical truths in a variety of settings.
  • Athletics – Intercollegiate and club teams as well as intramural sports provide a variety of fitness, competition and fellowship opportunities.

In addition, we intentionally covenant together to live by specific standards that support our applied learning, spiritual formation and community leadership development distinctives. These standards are part of our Life Together Covenant.
