College Chaplaincy
The College Chaplaincy is central to the spiritual life of the campus. Through worship programs, group activities, and community service, 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. The Chaplaincy also sponsors a variety of events and programs, on and off campus, that encourage the entire College community in showing and exploring faith. For example:
- Spring Break work trips
- Holocaust education events
- Habitat for Humanity housing projects
- Bible study groups
- Ramadan breakfasts
- Yom HaShoah recognition events
- Kwanza celebrations
- Festival of Lessons & Carols
The Chaplaincy also has connections with national and international organizations that provide opportunities for students to explore their faith on a wider field.
The Chaplaincy staff includes a chaplain, two associate chaplains, and co-chaplains from a wide range of religious communities, from Baptist to Jewish to Muslim to Orthodox.
For more information, contact a co-chaplain directly.
