Spiritual Life

Spiritual Life Leadership

Spiritual Life is led by a devoted network of Jewish, Catholic, and Protestant chaplains who are committed to interfaith efforts to promote religious and spiritual inquiry from all walks of life at Emerson College.

Our Spiritual Life chaplains are available to offer moral, spiritual, or religious guidance and advice to all students and serve as a resource for those looking within and beyond the College for their spiritual needs.
