Connect

Student life is stressful and filled with change. Coping with these challenges of the student experience is the aim of this weekly small group, in which we explore various aspects of health and wellness. Through a variety of activities and wellness strategies we’ll learn together how to achieve a more balanced and enjoyable lifestyle.

Connect with other freshmen to navigate your first year at UW-Madison. This group is where people often make lifelong friendships and find their family away from home (read Beatrice’s story here). Each week we gather to share what’s going on in our lives, ask the questions on our mind, and build connections which will support us throughout our time on campus.

Come for an hour on Friday mornings for meaningful conversations and connecting with other graduate students; check the Pres House Facebook page for locations each week. Sign up for email updates on weekly locations below.

We believe that part of being a faithful follower of Jesus means we are called to pray for our community, nation, and world. We gather each week to pray in three ways in 10-minute segments: 1) becoming aware of what is going on in our world, 2) reflecting on scripture and asking God to guide us, 3) responding through various actions (i.e., calling legislators, writing letters to our neighbors).

A group for students who are graduating and beginning the next chapter. We’ll cover topics like finances, interviewing, finding a church, and more.

Play is an important spiritual discipline that helps us cultivate creativity and joy as part of how we engage the world. Twice a month we come together for a fun evening of play!

A chance to check in, craft, and converse. No experience necessary, we’ll teach you!
