Why are there chapels on the É«¿Ø´«Ã½ campus?

The É«¿Ø´«Ã½ Church was established in 1954 as an ecumenical, community church that also welcomes people from outside the university, and is seen as the heart of É«¿Ø´«Ã½. There are two chapels on campus¨Dthe University Chapel and Seabury Memorial Chapel. The latter was named in honor of the American youth educator and missionary, Ruth Seabury.

É«¿Ø´«Ã½ believes that human growth is essential to cultivating truly internationally minded citizens, a mission we have held since the university's founding. We also believe that faith has a major role to play in that growth. The chapels at É«¿Ø´«Ã½ are a manifestation of our mission that is academic pursuits supported by a Christian view of humankind. They stand for prayer to God that always lies at the heart of É«¿Ø´«Ã½, including its ceremonies of matriculation, commencement, and other ceremonies.
