In 2019, the College opened an Interfaith Room on the Burlington main campus, 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.
Students will also find various interfaith and religious-based student organizations, recognized by the Student Government Association.
Champlain's Office of Diversity & Inclusion maintains a list of places of worship in the Burlington area, listed below. Questions? Email diversity@champlain.edu
