About Us
The mission of the Office of the Chaplaincy is to inspire generous faith and engage the heart of the University.
The office, which is located in the Wilton Center between Cannon Memorial Chapel and Tyler Hanes Commons, consists of six full-time staff members, three part-time staff members, and 14 affiliated campus ministers. Together, we focus on five strategic goals to advance our mission:
- Create and sustain frameworks for the many faith and spiritual traditions present on campus
- Encourage students to grow deeply in their own traditions and learn about the traditions and beliefs of others
- Provide care and support to all members of the University community, particularly students
- Develop programming for students to explore spirituality in a variety of non-traditional and emerging forms
- Animate conversations of meaning to cultivate our highest ideals of responsible living and learning
The chaplaincy organizes several initiatives in support of these objectives, including pilgrimage programs; the Weinstein-Rosenthal Forum; and programs for Christian, Jewish, and Muslim Life. In addition, we support both multifaith and spiritual but not religious communities.
