A Message from the Director, Dr. Thom Brozich
Dear Friends,
We here at the Newman Center care deeply about the health and well being of our members. People have always been our priority in our ministry. So, know that we are here for you. As the situation around the Coronavirus continues to evolve, I want to update you.
Although the scale of impact is still unknown, our social responsibility is to do our part to protect our community.
In an abundance of caution, YSU has closed down the campus to assist in keeping everyone safe and healthy. Here at the center, we have done more cleaning and have Clorox wipes to help keep the germs down.
Many of you may be feeling isolated (especially those who are in apartments alone near the campus) as public health officials encourage us to distance ourselves from others and community events are canceled. I encourage you to find ways to connect with loved ones during this time. Text them, call them, or even facetiming someone you haven’t communicated with for a while.
If, you find yourself in need, please contact us via the telephone, email, or text. You are cared about.
God loves you always!
Dr. Thom & Darlene

Vision 2021
Message From Our Director
Vision 2021
The Newman Center at YSU is a Catholic Campus Ministry community rooted in the transformative spirit of Vatican II, called to serve and empower the students, faculty and staff for leadership and ministry. Worship is the source and summit of all that we do, it is centered in Christ, creative, inclusive and life-giving. Our facility will be an accessible, well-used and holy space that serves our YSU family and the greater community. All will be welcomed with a warmth and hospitality that permeates to others. We will be a center of evangelization and ongoing faith formation for Catholics which offers progressive programs, retreats, and courses in theology, justice, scripture and spiritual growth. We recognize our own prophetic, cutting-edge nature and are willing to push boundaries in order to facilitate the transformation of our members and the greater world. So, when you are on campus, stop by and check us out!
