Student Life

Chaplaincy

The College Chaplaincy is central to the spiritual life of the campus. Through worship programs, community-service opportunities and spiritual guidance, the Chaplaincy serves all faith traditions, inviting students to further their own religious development while exploring other expressions of faith.

On campus, the Chaplaincy provides support and counseling for students in times of crisis or transition. Off campus, the Chaplaincy maintains strong ties with national and international organizations that provide opportunities for students to explore their faith on a wider field.
