University Programs

“A community maintains its liveliness through the spirit of its young and flourishes through it. When a community loses this spirit, it fades and withers away, like a flower whose veins have been cut, and it is finally crushed underfoot.”

Our programs aim to maintain their essential identity against mental and spiritual corruption for young adults, namely college students.

In addition to spiritual support, our programs teach universal, cultural, and ethical values to empower college students socially. These spiritual and social supports are crucial to guide college students to achieve academic success and internalize altruism, that is, devotion to others through complete forgetfulness of one’s own concerns, which is abiding by the highest degree of nobility.
