Chaplains and Professional Staff
Chaplains serve the Carleton community as its clergy and conscience. They lead the religious, spiritual, and moral life of the college, working with students, staff, faculty, and alums.
Chaplains tend to the full spectrum of human experience at Carleton, while also challenging the college to be the best embodiment of its principles. They are leaders from many different religious traditions yet deeply committed to the values of religious pluralism. They are counselors and activists, mentors and administrators, educators and worship leaders. They work behind the scenes, serving on numerous college committees, and are also front and center, leading public events and ritual moments. Chaplains build community, foster relationships, and help people feel more at home at Carleton.
Know that Chaplains are here to listen, to support, to partner, and to engage. You are always welcome to reach out to us, for any reason. To schedule a meeting with a Chaplain, just follow this link here. We look forward to connecting with you soon!
