Chaplaincy - Spiritual Life at Bard College actively promotes and develops a richer understanding of what we believe and how to use our beliefs to transform the world. Through the Chaplaincy department we offer spiritual support for all students and members of the Bard community. We provide ways to explore faith academically, often with a focus on social issues, and always with an emphasis on diversity and openness. Each chaplain also offers religious services and/or opportunities to deepen students' faith and build community. We are also available for pastoral counseling and conversation.
