Student Organizations

Student-led organizations form the heart of Davidson’s religious life. Our Religious Life Council, which meets monthly and is chaired by the College Chaplain, provides a forum for students, faculty, staff and area clergy to share information about religious activities and to discuss the spiritual needs of the campus community.  For information about the meeting times of these groups, contact the College Chaplain by email or at 704-894-2423.
