This program from Hendricks Chapel will encourage courageous and vital conversations with the campus community about grief awareness and its impact as people navigate life and a pandemic. The conversation-based program, “Honoring Life & Loss,” is open to Syracuse University students, faculty, and staff.

“This program will honor the grief and loss that we are experiencing collectively as a result of the pandemic, as well as other personal and communal traumatic events,” says the Rev. Rhonda Chester, United Methodist Ecumenical campus chaplain, and the program facilitator. “In this space, you can expect to share openly, have your experience held sacredly, and feel safe as you risk vulnerability.”
