Spiritual Life Partners
Spiritual Life recognizes individuals from particular traditions who serve the campus as a whole, and also works with campus partners from key offices.
Advisors, listed below, work with Spiritual Life and other campus partners to provide support for members of their own and other traditions. They may be clergy or representatives of non-profit organizations, or faculty or community partners who work with students of traditions where no professional advisor exists. Advisors sign and abide by the Ethical Framework for Religious and Spiritual Life.
