What is Student [Link]?
Student [Link] is Christian Women Connection's student initiative, aimed at finding a way to connect undergraduate and graduate women with CWC.
What is the goal of Student [Link]?
Our goal is to connect with students and help them be successful in their academic careers so that when they leave their university life, they have had a positive experience with Christian Women Connection.
How does it work?
Student [Link] began in the fall of 2010 with Anderson University students. Students were invited to an initial kick-off event where we introduced Christian Women Connection and how they could participate. Our goal is develop chapters on other college and university campuses.

We anticipate offering to connect with students in the following ways:
- Immersion trips - opportunities for students to travel and connect with other CWC women and the Church of God on a larger scale.
- Internships - help students find people and places with whom they are able to intern and gain experience, opportunities, and connection.
- Mentoring - connect women in local churches with students.
- Writing/speaking opportunities
- Conventions & conferences
- Ask students what they need/would like to get from CWC - let students influence the ministry so Student [Link] offers exactly what students today find themselves needing.
- Email group - students can receive devotions, encouragement, etc. from Christian Women Connection.
- facebook - utilize social media streams for connection and communication.
- Women in Ministry/Qara - bridge the gap between our college students who are pursuing a call to ministry and the Women in Ministry organization of the Church of God.
- Connecting young women with local CWC groups.
- Providing opportunities to volunteer with CWC, Children of Promise and others.
We are currently providing study rooms converted from our unused office space. They were put together on a budget, but beautifully decorated, comfy & cozy, stocked with snacks and study resources.
