The Chapel

The chapel is a popular location for religious gatherings as well as big lectures, concerts, and other events with the building sitting over 500 people. It also currently houses the Office of Religious and Spiritual Life and Contemplative Practices.

⭐ Religious and Spiritual Life

The Office of Religious and Spiritual Life and Contemplative Practices helps students integrate lives of passionate commitment, embodied practice, and intellectual critique. Our programs offer opportunities for spiritual and democratic formation for the religiously devoted, the spiritually curious, and the radically questioning.
