Finding a Religious Home

Religious Groups on Campus


There are numerous opportunities for students to connect with their religious roots -- or to take wings and acquaint themselves with different traditions.  At DU, these opportunities fall into two, sometimes overlapping, categories.

 

Center for Religious Services

The University provides a committee of religious organizations to help meet the spiritual needs of students.  The University does not endorse any specific religious practice, but official recognition has been granted to individual representatives of religious organizations who have agreed to abide by specific University standards.  Members of the religious community officially recognized by the University and overseen by the Office of the Chaplain can be found at the Center for Religious Services website.

Religious Student Groups

Often, students will perceive a religious need not met by one of the CRS bodies.  Those students are encouraged to form a student organization to address those needs.  A list of religious student organizations can be found here.  If you would like to form a new religious student organization, talk to the Chaplain.


Making connections
We encourage students to fill out a religious preference card.  This ensures that your information is transMay 27, 2008ions, however, have representatives on, or near, campus.  If you want help making YOUR connections, please contact the Chaplain for assistance.


Be aware, Be alert, Be careful
It’s great to feel wanted and to be invited to join a new group with the promise of new friends and activities.  Among the many clubs and organizations here at DU, you’ll find a wide variety of religious organizations, some of which may use recruiting tactics you find problematic.  Because choosing a religious group is an important decision in your life at DU, we want to offer some information to help you make an informed, free choice:  “Learn to be a . . .
