Mission for Faith and Spirituality Initiatives at Rutgers University

The mission of the Faith and Spirituality Initiatives Office is to enhance and value the spiritual life of students, faculty, and staff at Rollins College across a wide spectrum of faiths, spiritual traditions, and expressions. Our purpose is to foster an open and inclusive climate educating all while supporting faith and spiritual journeys.


The Role of The Assistant Dean for Faith and Spirituality Initiatives

"So, what exactly does the Assistant Dean for Faith and Spirituality do?"

The Dean focuses on making space for religious-specific programming, facilitating interfaith dialogue & work, coordinating educational opportunities to delve into ethical, religious, philosophical, & spiritual subjects, engaging in conflict transformation, and much more!  

"Does the Dean only represent only one religious community?"

The Dean works with a wide variety of spiritual communities to best provide for the needs of our diverse campus. Accordingly, the Dean is also active in representing Rutgers in conversations with our greater community in New Brunswick and surrounding areas.

"How can students get in touch with the Dean?"

For starters, feel free to email Rev. Katrina Jenkins at: katrina.e.jenkins@rutgers.edu.  She is open and willing to meet with students.
