Faith and Religious Exploration

Your college experience is a good time to explore what your faith means for your life today and in the future. We can help you explore by: 

• We encourage interfaith understanding and dialogue
• We welcome asking questions and voicing doubts
• We mentor you to claim your values, passions and purpose
• We encourage you to explore connecting across differences
• We provide care through spiritual mentoring, pastoral care and counseling

Compassion Fund

The faith and spiritual life compassion fund helps students with emergency needs, such as the cost of travel related to the death or serious illness of a family member, medical/dental expenses, academic books, or expenses related to housing and work- or school-related transportation.

Donations can also be designated for addressing food insecurity needs through the FSI Free Food room at the link below.
