STUDENT SPIRITUAL AND INTELLECTUAL DEVELOPMENT SURVEY
The Lilly Network of Church-Related Colleges and Universities is pleased to share the following report, “Faith & College Life,” on the Lilly Network Survey on Student Spiritual and Intellectual Development. We give thanks to the 34 colleges and universities that administered the survey to their students in Fall 2023, 34 students who participated in focus group sessions, and to Springtide Research Institute for creating the survey, analyzing the results, and preparing this report.
The 34 colleges and universities represent a wide diversity of church traditions, including Catholic, Orthodox, mainline Protestant, evangelical, and anabaptist; they represent regions throughout the country; and they represent schools ranging from fewer than 200 undergraduates to over 10,000 undergraduates.
