Abstract (click to view)
This project will focus on analyzing student engagement with their spirituality through the Office of the Chaplain and Religious Life as well as other faith-based campus resources. The project will use both qualitative and quantitative methods to understand and gauge if the spiritual needs of students are being met and how SMU can support of students' spiritual lives. Utilizing Astin, Astin, and Lindholm (2010) national study of undergraduates' spiritual growth we seek to understand the spiritual and faith needs of on-campus residential students. Results may inform the work of religious and spiritual life centers.
