Spiritual and Religious Life
Spiritual and Religious Life
While Washington and Lee University is a non-sectarian institution, we realize that spirituality is part of a student's holistic development. We provide programs, resources and spaces for all students to learn, explore and grow.
Interfaith Resource Center
The Interfaith Resource Center is located on the second floor of Hillel House. The center has resources about different world religions and is open to anyone of any religion. It also provides a place for students to meet with their faith leaders and students of different religions
Hillel House
W&L's Hillel House was established to provide facilities, guidance and organization for religious, cultural, educational, service and interfaith activities. Hillel is dedicated to building Jewish identity while nurturing intellectual and spiritual growth, as well as interfaith conversations. Hillel House also features a sanctuary where Jewish religious services are held.
