Engage with, participate in and explore our vibrant and diverse spiritual community. Whether you consider yourself part of one particular faith or are looking for a spiritual home, you will have many opportunities to take part in a wide range of traditions and activities.
All faith communities are supported and advised by the Department of Student Engagement and Belonging. The department works closely to support these communities in accessing spiritual care and support both on- and off-campus.
There are a number of registered student organizations representing various religious and spiritual communities. Each of these groups has an advisor who meets regularly with them. Additionally, each student organization plans a variety of services, events, retreats and community service projects and initiates special offerings for the College community as a whole. View a full list of currently registered student organizations.
Through the Spiritual Partners Program, we also connect with local faith communities and leaders to offer a wide range of support and resources for students and faith-based communities. For more information about off-campus offerings.
The department of student engagement and belonging supports a number of interfaith opportunities for students to engage across different faith groups and strengthen understanding of one’s own beliefs. They are among the best attended and most popular faith experiences on campus and include Interfaith opportunities such as:
Blanchard Hall in the Community Center serves as a main hub of activity of the religiously pluralistic student body and serves as an office space for staff who serve as chaplains and/or advisors. It is here that students can find gathering space, a multitude of community events, and much more. It’s also a space where students can take on leadership roles, which range from planning an interfaith event and creating and leading group services to organizing a dinner celebration.
While Blanchard Hall supports the religious and faith-based communities, our students practice in many ways and in various locations – from the Interfaith Sanctuary to green spaces on-campus. For a full list of quiet, contemplative and spiritual places on campus.
