Lafayette College has a long tradition of nurturing religious and spiritual development, and religious expression and discussion of related issues have played an important role since the College’s founding in 1826. Today, the student body is spiritually diverse, and opportunities for worship and fellowship are available from a wide range of religious and spiritual traditions. The college employs a full time Director of Religious and Spiritual Life/Chaplain who oversees and coordinates the work of a diverse and talented group of advisors and chaplains.
