"College students are being trained scholastically with high caliber professors and courses -- their intellectual formation in the Faith should be matching that with equal rigor," says Chad Cunningham, course instructor and Director of Campus Ministry and Development for Vanderbilt Catholic. This course is designed for college level students and above.

NewmanConnection.com continues to be a knowledge source for college students, our youth, and for Catholics everywhere.  "To be able to offer this quality of content to students at Newman Centers across the country as well as to Catholics nationally, and to give it to them for free, it's very exciting.  It is a real testament to all of those who helped make this happen," said Matt Zerrusen, Co-Founder of Newman Connection.
