Students Packing Boxes

We are the hub of religious, spiritual, ethical, and cultural life for all members of the Tufts community. We welcome you, just as you are.

We are here for you if you are craving more depth in your daily life, needing a caring presence in a difficult moment, or seeking resources in a particular religious or philosophical tradition. Our chaplains work together and serve different religious and philosophical communities. They are trained to respectfully support anyone in our Tufts community in the fullness of their identities, and are confidential resources to Tufts community members.

Getting involved at the University Chaplaincy might be participating in worship or meditation, attending a concert or a lecture on spiritual life, engaging in service or exploring local history, checking in with a chaplain about how it's going for you – and much more. We will be so glad to get to know you, and be changed by your presence.

Below are easy ways to access more information about our weekly gatherings, our chaplains' contact information, and our annual events. Please reach out with any questions, concerns, and ideas you have - we will be so glad to connect with you.

Sincerely,

The Tufts University Chaplaincy Team
