Meet Our Guardians

Need a friend? How about a cup of coffee or hot cocoa? Come in, have a seat and visit with one of our Guardians. Upon entrance into the Chaplain's Office, guests are welcomed by a volunteer known as the Guardian. The Guardian program consists of five volunteers who staff the office each weekday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. during the academic year. Most of our Guardians are retired educators, and they love college students.

For the 2005-2006 academic year, the Guardians served a combined total of 442 volunteer hours, welcoming over 1,241 guest into the Chaplain's Office.
