Office of the ChaplainsReligious Practice, Spiritual Wellbeing, and Interfaith Learning
An important part of your college experience is tending to your holistic wellbeing: spiritual, physical, intellectual, relational, and emotional. Though we specialize in the spiritual, our team in the Office of the Chaplains is here to support you as a whole person.
Spiritual Wellbeing Includes:
- developing and sustaining a connection to something larger than yourself
- For those coming from a Christian tradition, this includes developing or sustaining a relationship to God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit
- For others this could mean developing a connection to another deity(s) or religious leader, sacred texts, ethical values, the natural world, community, etc.
- making meaning and finding a sense of purpose in your life
- engaging in practices that help you be fully present to your authentic self and to others
We can help...

- with peers who share your spiritual or religious identity
- with peers from different spiritual and religious backgrounds

Support
