Do you want to form deep and meaningful friendships?
Are you interested in integrating faith into your college life?
What is Venture?
Venture begins with a weekend away from campus for freshmen to form meaningful friendships and learn how to keep practicing their faith in college.
The Venture Experience promotes deep bonds of friendship in faith, moments of personal and common prayer, and an introduction to the wider Catholic community at AU.
After the weekend experience, Venture continues with weekly meetings on Tuesdays from 5-6:15 PM to continue strengthening the community of Catholic freshmen.

Student Testimony
"Venture transformed me in unimaginable ways. Not only did it teach me the basics needed to strengthen and maintain my faith during college, it also gave me a community and memories that will last a lifetime. Venture was a safety net during my freshman year. Even when things felt frightening or I felt lonely, I always looked forward to our weekly meetings and seeing our community on campus!"
