Georgetown University: Chaplains-In-Residence

Georgetown University is committed to cura personalis – concern for and care of each student as a unique individual – and to the belief that learning and personal development are significantly enriched through relationships and experiences outside the classroom. Drawn from different faith traditions (currently Catholic, Jewish, and Protestant), Georgetown’s Chaplains-in-Residence (CIRs) are central to achieving these goals. Both clergy and lay, CIRs live as neighbors in student residence halls and apartments and are available for everything from casual conversation to hall meetings, shared meals to community celebrations, individual guidance to gatherings for prayer, and more. Through personal invitation, presence, outreach, and referral, CIRs support students as they develop as individuals, members of the Georgetown community, and faith-filled, responsible citizens of the world.
