Campus Resources

Spiritual well-being involves taking moments to pause and be present. If you’re unsure about your spiritual life, that’s perfectly okay! College offers a great opportunity to reflect on what spirituality means to you.

The Office of Religious and Spiritual Life sponsors programs exploring religion, spirituality, interfaith cooperation, ethics, and meaning. They encourage individuals to deepen their spirituality and offer one-on-one spiritual support with the University Chaplain.

They also organize Grief Circles, providing a supportive space for students to learn about and navigate grief related to various life experiences, such as loss, transitions, or difficult events. For more information, students can visit Campus Labs.

Emotional well-being involves your thoughts, feelings, and how you handle life’s challenges.
