Welcome to the University Chaplaincy! We are a resource that seeks to offer support, care, connection, and challenge to all students, faculty, and staff – inclusive of those of all spiritual and religious backgrounds, as well as those who find meaning in other approaches to the world. Through this work, we hope to help campus members of all roles and stories to find and create meaning during their time studying, living, and working at Puget Sound.
The University Chaplaincy is explicitly committed to being an affirming, inclusive space for all Loggers. We are here for people of any, all, or no particular religious or spiritual background, and have a particular commitment to those who have experienced bias or harm through religious or spiritual systems. The Chaplaincy is a space to explore, heal, question, and seek the course of your own spiritual journey.
University Chaplain Rev. Dave Wright and Jewish Life Coordinator Cantor Geoff Fine are both strictly confidential resources for support for students, faculty, and staff. Both are available to meet with campus members for conversation, reflection, exploration, support, and more. See their posted office and coffee hours on this page, or you can email chaplaincy@pugetsound.edu to set an appointment with either Dave or Geoff!
Watch for a variety of opportunities to engage with issues of meaning, spirituality, and religion – from major lectures to discussion groups to dinners with local and national guests.
