Sacred Spaces on Campus

The Emory University Office of Spiritual and Religious Life (OSRL) has institutional responsibility for making available and ensuring the appropriate furnishing of spaces for prayer and meditation across Emory University schools and facilities. We welcome partnership with faculty, staff and students to ensure appropriate places for prayer and meditation for the Emory community. For more information, please contact religiouslife@emory.edu.
