Exploring Faith

Campus ministries are "a safe space" or "a home away from home," a place where students can deepen their sense of self and the world around them.

They serve universities from the understanding that life, including academic life, is a spiritual journey. Chaplains are professionally trained and appointed by recognized communities of faith to minister to the unique needs of the university community.
