Colby College tries to assist students in their overall growth and development in their years on campus. To that end, the college supports a variety of opportunities for students to pursue their religious interests. Jewish, Protestant, and Catholic students are served by chaplains in their respective faiths. The Chaplains seek the development of ecumenical and interfaith relationships so that intellectual, moral, and spiritual growth can be an integral part of the students' Colby experience. The Chaplains are also available for spiritual and personal counseling. In addition, Buddhism, Hinduism, Islam, and other religious expressions are encouraged and supported. The Campus Ministry Program welcomes all to participate in any of the religious activities sponsored by the Chaplains.
