Hidden Chaplains
What do we mean by a "Hidden Chaplain"? A Hidden Chaplain is someone who offers care, compassion, and friendship just because they can. This person isn't your professor, your coach, or your roommate. This is a staff member at the college who has brightened your day and made a difference.
