- A variety of creative programs to support personal and spiritual growth, ethical development, interfaith dialogue, a sense of community, service to others and more
- Referrals to a broad range of campus religious groups and local places of worship in many traditions
- Guidelines to: ensure healthy campus faith practice, build constructive interfaith dialogue and cooperation, and recognize destructive religious groups and practices
- Suppport for building a balanced life of overall Wellness, including providing experiences/ training in such spiritual wellness practices as Reiki, meditation and yoga, and offering the annual signature event "NU Spiritual Wellness Week"
- A strong collaboration with the Multi-faith Student Connection group, the Social Justice Resource Center and Cultural Centers, to encourage essential human connections that embrace diversity
- Leadership development for the spiritually engaged students who will be tomorrow's leaders, through such opportunities as the annual "Unplugged" multi-faith spirituality and leadership retreat, as well as the Cardinal Cushing Scholarship and William H.
