COMPASS is students evangelizing students. By uniting Catholic college students from around the country, COMPASS inspires and equips them to take the initiative in evangelizing college life. COMPASS's motto is "Take College Life in a New Direction!"

Through inter-university conferences, retreats, and fellowships, COMPASS members get strength and encouragement by meeting students from other universities who share their ideals. Knowing that they are not alone, they take on the challenge of evangelizing their campus, bolstered by resources and guidance from a dynamic national network.

COMPASS members become a bulwark of support for their campus ministers. They are encouraged to be the most active members of their local Catholic community, upholding the good that is already being done and looking for new and creative ways to reach out to their peers as only students can do.
