WHAT IS CSA?
The Catholic Student Association is one of
the largest co-ed student organizations on the campus of the
University of Toledo. Associated with Corpus Christi University
Parish (CCUP), it serves as the Catholic student organization on
campus, fostering spiritual, social, and academic growth through
events such as organizing retreats for the UT community, planning
religious events in conjunction with CCUP, providing service to the
local community, arranging educational opportunities, and planning
social activities.
CSA HISTORY
CSA was founded as the Newman Club at UT
in 1939. The name "Newman" comes from John Henry Cardinal Newman
(1801-1890), a scholar, gentleman, minister, and spokesperson for
the Church of England, leader of the second Reformation, convert to
Catholicism, and Cardinal of the Roman Catholic Church.
In the United States, the name "Newman" is often associated with a
Catholic student group or center on the campus of a college or
university. In the fall of 1999, the name Newman Club was officially
changed to the University of Toledo Catholic Student Association.
CSA continues the tradition of Catholic campus ministry at UT. The
Newman Board, which serves as the leadership for the Catholic
Student Association, keeps the spirit of Newman and his teachings
alive.
