Religious, Spiritual, and Ethical Life

The MIT Office of Religious, Spiritual, and Ethical Life (ORSEL) supports about 30 active student religious, spiritual, interfaith, and Humanist organizations on campus, many of which are advised by one of over 20 ORSEL-affiliated professionals. Affiliate chaplains also provide confidential one-on-one counseling and offer programs to promote spiritual wellbeing, interfaith understanding, and ethical growth for all students. Through regular opportunities for worship, meditation, prayer, and study, the office is a resource for students, faculty, and staff of all faith traditions and belief systems.

Religious, spiritual, moral, and ethical convictions are important personal identity markers, and the Institute encourages the MIT community to thoughtfully engage with today's pluralistic world. The Office of Religious, Spiritual, and Ethical Life is committed to the principle of equal opportunity in education and employment and adheres to the Institute's nondiscrimination policy.
