Drop in to meet the staff at the Scott Center! We are educators, compassionate caregivers, ritual leaders, allies, and advocates. We help create a campus atmosphere that is open to religious faith and practice, and encourages moral reflection and spiritual development. As part of the Office of Institutional Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, we make these concerns central to work across campus and throughout the college.

UPDATE, DEC. 10:  The programs were printed and the greens were hung, the poinsettias were placed and the choir was warming up!  Sunday afternoon and evening promised to be a festive and meaningful celebration of Advent and Christmas. Regrettably, due to the increased number of Covid cases on campus, out of an abundance of caution we are not able to gather for this annual celebration of Lessons and Carols.
