The Center for Interfaith & Spiritual Life (CISL) supports and strengthens the university's religious and philosophical diversity by providing opportunities to engage with spiritual life on campus through interfaith engagement, education, service, worship, and meditation. The Center promotes and supports spiritual development, theological reflections, religious tolerance, social justice, and social awareness in a warm and welcoming atmosphere where students, faculty, and staff feel comfortable exploring their religious and spiritual identities.
