Rachel Lord Center for Religious and Spiritual Life
Bowdoin College is committed to the principle that each religious tradition is a vital and valued part of our community, and we celebrate and nurture this religious and spiritual diversity.
The Rachel Lord Center for Religious and Spiritual Life at Bowdoin provides support and guidance for students and groups around religious observance, religious pluralism, and spiritual practice.
