The office of Spiritual Development offers opportunities for students as they seek to deepen and enhance their spiritual and religious lives. These include: counseling which addresses questions of spirituality and religious faith and its application to issues and challenges at school and home; small groups for students wanting to explore their spiritual lives; workshops on spiritual development, meditation and prayer; interfaith services and discussions; holy day observances and special event celebrations.

The office provides a listing of places of worship offered by local faith communities. Information about different religious traditions and holy days is also available. The University also has student-run faith groups that work with the Office of Spiritual Development to sponsor activities and to provide community and support for interested students.
