Any Given Tuesday: What It’s Really Like To Be On Campus At Doulos

***We promise, these photos were not planned, posed or polished***

We grabbed a camera on a random Tuesday and walked around campus. We wanted to share what it was really like at Doulos on any given day.

What we discovered is that it’s not the events or the big programs that make the deepest difference here—it’s the small, meaningful interactions that happen in class, between classes, on the playground, in line for lunch, and while students wait for a ride home.

This is what life looks like when community isn’t a department or a curriculum, but the way we do everything.
