Chaplains

The Catholic, Jewish, Muslim and Protestant chaplains at Hofstra University work closely with one another and with students to offer a wide variety of exciting programs.

Some of these activities include social events, dinners, religious services, celebration of holidays, guest speakers, community service projects, informal discussions, study groups, regional and national conferences, retreats and much more.

The chaplains are also available for religious guidance and informal personal and academic counseling.
