Our Programs
Explore, Connect, and Engage
The Office of Religious and Philosophical Life brings Jumbos together through reflection, learning, community, music, dialogue, and service. Whether you're looking for a weekly gathering, an opportunity to engage across differences, or a campus-wide event, our programs offer space to connect with yourself, with others, and with questions that matter.
Weekly Gatherings
Building community through recurring opportunities for worship, meditation, discussion, reflection, music, and fellowship.
From mindfulness practice and interfaith dialogue to faith-based workshop and community gatherings, there are many ways to connect throughout the academic year.
Interfaith Engagement
Learn alongside people with different experiences, beliefs, and worldviews through dialogue, friendship, leadership development, and community-building.
Programs include Interfaith Ambassadors, Interfaith Student Council, COFFEE (Community of Faith Exploration and Engagement), and Be-Friend: The Interfaith Friendship Project.
Music Program
Experience the power of music to bring people together across traditions, cultures, and communities.
Take part in the interfaith Voices for Peace and Light Choir or take in a concert, attend special musical performances and community celebrations throughout the year, and discover the multitude of opportunities our Music Program offers to connect through creativity and shared expression.
