Don’t know what you believe? Struggling with relationships? Need a listening ear? If you are feeling distressed or troubled, if you can’t quite sort things out, if you just want to talk, you are welcome to contact our Campus Minister, Alicia Anderson.

Alicia is available by email at ara2@psu.edu or by text or phone at (814) 360-0601.
