The University Chaplaincy for Faculty and Staff
Find Community. Get Support.
The Office of Religious and Philosophical Life supports faculty and staff across our Boston Health Sciences, Grafton, Medford/Somerville, and SMFA campuses. Whether you're seeking connection, reflection, spiritual care, learning opportunities, or a welcoming community, you'll find resources, programs, and people ready to support you.
Support for Faculty and Staff
Our chaplains serve as confidential resources for faculty and staff of all religious, spiritual, ethical, and philosophical backgrounds. Whether you're navigating a life transition, seeking spiritual care, looking for guidance during a difficult moment, or simply hoping to connect, we're here to help. Chaplains are trained to support members of the Tufts community in the fullness of their identities and are affirming of LGBTQIA+ identities.

Navigating Community Wisely
Healthy communities encourage curiosity, respect, belonging, and personal growth. As you explore opportunities on and off campus, we encourage you to learn how to recognize high-pressure or controlling groups and where to find support if concerns arise.
