A Mission to Serve - An interview with Bryan Slavik
Welcome to the first episode of the Providence Matters Podcast.
One of the core values of the university is Compassion. Specifically, that we reach out to those in need and offer comfort as Jesus did. We nurture the spiritual, emotional and physical well-being of one another and those we serve. Through our healing presence, we accompany those who suffer.
Professor Bryan Slavik, a master lecturer in the Criminal Justice program, has dedicated much of his professional life to serving others. This is seen in his 28-year career in law enforcement and 14 years of teaching at the University of Providence. The importance of the core value of compassion in his life is shown as he became a certified police chaplain.
Hear why service is so important to him.
