1. Be the best YOU possible. You are the most important and valuable tool for your college ministry.
2. Build up and affirm students. Deal with them according to their potential, not just who they are now.
3. Practice balance in family, work, exercise, and worship. Your children will grow up and leave. Don't regret your lack of quality time with them.
4. Communicate continually to others what you are doing and trying to do.
5. Spend excessively wisely on difference makers.
6. Keep learning from others.
7. Vent to someone besides your spouse all the time.
8. Connect to and work with school officials as much as possible and when possible. It will come back to you.
9. Mentor younger College Ministers. It builds the kingdom AND will benefit you.
10. Evaluate continually and tweak as needed.
