Eliza Smith DeBevoise
University Chaplain
At Converse, we believe nurturing the spiritual life is an integral part of your experience here. Through the Chaplain’s Office, we offer a wide variety of experiences designed to foster and support spiritual growth. In the Founder’s Ideal, Dexter Edgar Converse, desired “that the instruction and influence of Converse be always such that the students may be enabled to see clearly, to decide wisely, and to act justly” within the context of a college that is “always truly religious, but never denominational” and “to be liberally and tolerantly Christian.” To that end, we have a diverse array of student groups who offer programming for our students and extend gracious hospitality and generous respect to persons from all religious traditions.
Converse has many faith-focused clubs to help students along their spiritual journeys.
Any student wishing to start a new club or reactivate an inactive club should contact the Chaplain.
