Students come with problems, seeking confidential discussion. The chaplain holds a weekly supper on Wednesdays, called Pasta Night, in the Residence for students, faculty and staff. The chaplain plans and coordinates services of worship on a weekly basis and for special occasions such as Parent's Weekend, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, Baccalaureate, Reunion Weekend, and Christian and Jewish holy days. Weekly Chapel services held during academic terms are available to everyone.
Services are of an informal but serious nature, and often include discussion of a timely topic.
They involve students and other members of the community as readers, musicians, performers, bread-bakers, etc. Other services of worship take place in the Chapel throughout the year. The chaplain provides services at times of community crisis, such as the death of a student, faculty person, or other member of the community, andat times of national emergency. Weddings are held year round in the Chapel. The chaplain oversees interfaith ministry on the campus, working cooperatively with the Hillel Program Professional, and local Roman Catholic, Protestant and Jewish clergy.
