Intramural sports such as dodgeball, softball, volleyball (indoor and outdoor), soccer (indoor and outdoor), basketball, flag football, and more are available for all students to participate in. Students can sign up for any intramural sport or event via the LindenRec app or at www.imleagues.com.

For more information about Lindenwood Student Government, visit the office, located in Evans Commons Room 3040, or call (636) 949-4983.

Qualified students may conduct practicums in the context of St. Charles County’s only higher education television venue. The purpose of the station is to offer learning opportunities for Lindenwood’s broadcast students, who operate the station under the supervision of the College of Arts and Humanities faculty. The channel offers original programming designed to provide educational experiences and cultural enrichment. LUTV is available on Charter Cable, AT&T U-Verse and online through the Lindenwood website.
Students may also participate in the operation of the Lindenwood all-digital radio station, KCLC-FM (HD-1), through the College of Arts and Humanities. A 50,000-watt stereo facility, KCLC is the principal local radio station in St. Charles County and plays a major role in community affairs, providing entertainment programming, local news gathering, and sports broadcasting. KCLC-FM (HD- 2) is the secondary digital signal, which provides another format for the community and additional student opportunities. Both stations are available on the Internet.
Lindenwood has a historical relationship with the Presbyterian Church and is firmly rooted in Judeo-Christian values. The university provides an ecumenical environment that respects all religious traditions. The Lindenwood University Newman Center is located at 304 N. Kingshighway. One Sacred Space, which can be used for daily prayer and meditation, is located in Spellmann Center 4150, and the Sibley Chapel often hosts non-denominational religious services.
The job of a chaplain is to respond to the needs of the college community, to those of various faith traditions, to those with no faith tradition who are asking the “big questions,” and to those who ask those questions and find that God or gods do not fit the answer. The University Chaplain, Rev. Dr. Nichole Torbitzky, is available to meet with anyone for counsel, spiritual direction, or pastoral care. The chaplain's office is located in the Wellness Center (3rd floor Evans Commons).
