Life Questions Contest

"Spirituality is a contemplative attitude, a disposition to a life of depth, and a search for ultimate meaning, direction and belonging."

- The Mystic Heart by W. Teasdale

Do you have a "life question” that promotes reflection and conversation? If so, we are eager to hear it! NSU’s Multicultural and Spiritual Affairs program conducts an annual “Life Questions" contest in order to challenge students to ask the important questions about meaning and purpose.

Congratulations to last year’s winners! The winning questions and their creators were:

  • “What does the life you live say about you?” – Natiesha Cross
  • “Are you listening?” – Naika Gabriel
  • “What are you searching for?” – Lloyd Lewis

Questions are limited to 15 words.  Winning questions will be announced in The Current as well as printed on t-shirts and publicized across campus. We hope the questions will inspire conversation and promote active reflection about purpose and meaning. If we use your question, you will receive a prize and public recognition for your winning “life question”. You may enter as many times as you wish.
