Spiritual Resources
Meet With a Chaplain
Stetson's chaplain, Rev. Todd Campbell, Jr. is available to all members of the Stetson community regardless of spiritual affiliation or non-affiliation. He is happy to provide spiritual guidance or just to listen without judgment and offer presence and compassion. The chaplain is a confidential resource, meaning he will not share information about your conversations without your permission unless there is an active threat to harm yourself or another.
In addition to being available as a resource for discussing spiritual concerns, the chaplain has some specific roles in responding in times of personal or community loss. When a student is known to have had a death in the family, the chaplain will reach out to offer comfort and assistance. Later in the grieving process, talking with the chaplain may also be helpful. Additionally, when there is a death of a member of the Stetson community, whether student, faculty or staff, the chaplain will assist in providing support in planning for services for the Stetson community. This may also include offering times of vigil and prayer when there are local or national tragedies. The mourning process is unique to each person and community. Even long after the actual loss, talking with a spiritual friend can help in the healing.

Religious Observance Policy
At Stetson University, individual faculty members establish attendance policies to support academic excellence in their courses. Stetson University also supports participation in and observance of religious and spiritual practices and endeavors to make reasonable accommodations to make such participation possible. The impact on academic excellence is always the central concern of any accommodation. Students who must miss classes for religious observances are expected to discuss these absences with the instructor in advance.
