Welcome to the Student Chaplains!
Student life can be both rewarding and challenging.
Sometimes it is helpful to talk to someone who listens with interest to how it is for you right now.
When life is challenging, the student chaplain can be a safe and supportive conversation partner. We talk about what matters to you, whether it is big or small.
We have confidentiality, and you do not need to be Christian or religious to come to us.

Send an SMS or email to schedule a conversation.
We will respond as soon as possible during office hours. The student chaplains are available for meetings at the office, by phone, Zoom, etc.
Conversations last about an hour, and you can come back multiple times.
