ORSEL Affiliates are dedicated to the well-being of university community, particularly the spiritual, ethical and religious welfare of students, faculty, and staff.

They are committed to strengthening the University in its mission to discover and disseminate knowledge, and protect the freedom of inquiry through research, teaching, and learning. As we seek to create an inclusive community, WashU collaborates with our Affiliates to serve our students of any religious, spiritual, cultural or ethical identities.

Please note: ORSEL is available to assist students of any/no religious, spiritual or philosophical tradition. For help connecting with a community off or on campus, or for interfaith opportunities, please use our Religious, Spiritual and Ethical Life Information Request form reach out to our office.
