About the Center
The Smith Center for Religious & Spiritual Life offers a unique setting for student engagement. You’ll find holiday and holy day celebrations, a cappella concerts, religious text study, intriguing discussions and fresh-baked cookies—sometimes happening all at the same time.
What We Offer
We tailor the programs and activities we offer each semester to students’ questions, concerns and ideas. Some of our popular programs include Soup, Salad, & Soul; Mindful Mondays; Jummah; weekly meditation; Shabbat; and Generating Justice and Joy.
We meet with students in our building and across campus—in student houses, dining rooms, the Campus Center, and for walks along the pond. Drop by the chapel anytime to visit, hang out, pray, or study. Our staff are also available to meet with students by appointment. We want all Smith students to feel there is a place for them here. We work to ensure that you have what you need to thrive here—whether it is food that meets your dietary requirements, listening hearts, religious community to worship or celebrate with, or a companion on your spiritual journey.
