The Skidmore College Office of the Chaplain respects the dignity of each person, celebrates diversity, and invites all to explore and nurture the spiritual dimensions of their lives and learning. The Office of the Chaplain provides opportunities for students, faculty and staff members to develop their religious and spiritual lives.

The Office of the Chaplain assists students with their religious and spiritual concerns. This assistance can take many different forms: Conducting religious services and arranging for holiday observances, organizing speakers or discussion groups on timely and timeless topics of ethical or moral concern, coordinating community service projects, providing resources for the academic study of religious or social issues, and providing individual spiritual counsel.
