“CSU has helped me connect my relationship with Christ to my career. Before attending CSU, my relationship with Christ was my own and I wouldn’t share my faith often in the workplace. But now after spending a few years at CSU, I’ve been shown how to portray Christ through my career and to be a living example of Christ’s love no matter where I go.”

Levi Alfred

Intercultural Studies Major | Scranton, PA
