What the Chaplain Does
Drop by the chaplain’s office just to chat and take a breather during your day. Over coffee or tea or a juice, we can talk about your studies, your overload of work, or whatever is on your mind. The chaplain invites your e-mail messages, forwarded items, and questions. You are most welcome to contact the chaplain by e-mail to make an appointment.
