Stanford Associated Religions (SAR) Student Groups

The Office for Religious & Spitirual Life oversees and provides support for Stanford Associated Religions (SAR), some 30 religious organizations invited to offer their spiritual services to the campus. All SAR organizations, individual members and advisors pledge:

(a) to promote the moral and spiritual growth of the Stanford University community;

(b) to support Stanford’s steady exercise of free inquiry and its pursuit of the highest standards 

of intellectual and moral excellence;

 (c) to represent that group and its purposes forthrightly, while at the same time treating with respect the religious traditions and activities of others; and

(d) to safeguard the religious freedom, human dignity, conscience and personal spiritual welfare of all members of the university.

New to the Office for Religious & Spiritual Life? Feel free to reach out to our Director of Student Engagement, Colleen Hallagan Preuninger (cpreunin@stanford.edu) with any questions!
