The Charles P. Scott Center for Spiritual and Religious Life: Bridging Knowledge and Virtue

- Supports the College's longstanding commitment to the education of the whole person.
- Provides contexts in which a student's intellectual, spiritual, and moral character can grow and flourish.
- Offers financial and logistical support to many different student religious organizations and connects people to a variety of nearby faith communities.
- Provides pastoral and liturgical resources to college community members.
- Works in concert with Human Resources to assess issues of community and human relations, including staff and faculty wellness, and makes recommendations for services and programs.
- Supports diversity initiatives on campus.
