Colorado Univ. Starts Pagan Student Group

University of Colorado-Boulder is joining the ever-increasing list of colleges that have a Pagan Student Alliance. What's making all this growth possible? Simple - students like Emma Lee, who are taking the initiative and starting Pagan student groups where there isn't one.

Lee, a geology major who recently transferred from Mesa State, wants to "create a place where students with a variety of belief systems can gather, share ideas and make friends." Lee and a friend founded the Pagan Student Alliance at Mesa State, as a way of making sure there was a place for everyone to feel at home.

A number of other universities have started Pagan student groups. In September, Webster University launched the Webster Pagan Grove. Boston University, Iowa State, Ohio State, and Penn State are just a few of the colleges that have organzied Pagan student groups, and all have one thing in common: each began because one person said, "Hey, we need this."

If you belong to a school that has a population of students in non-mainstream religions, a Pagan student group might be just what is needed.
