The College opened an Interfaith Room on the Burlington main campus in 2019. Located in the Miller Information Commons (MIC) Library, Room 220, the Interfaith Room provides a centrally-located, private, and quiet environment for those who wish to participate in worship and reflection while on campus.
Open during regular Library hours, MIC 220 can be accessed through the main stairwell, elevator, or the side stairwell for greater privacy. The room is equipped with a bench, shoe rack, floor pillows, and various religious and spiritual texts and objects.
Depending on the year, students may also find student-led interfaith and religious-based clubs on campus. Students are also able to start new clubs through the Office of Student Engagement and Student Government Association.
Resources listed with “LGBTQIA+ Affirming” next to them are congregations we have confirmed participated in local Pride celebrations. If you have questions about a specific organization, we suggest looking at the organization’s website for an explicit statement of welcome and/or an official designation.
