RELIGIOUS, SPIRITUAL, & ETHICAL SERVICES AND EVENTS The Office of Religious, Spiritual, and Ethical Life (ORSEL) offers connections to a variety of religious organizations on campus and in the St. Louis area. Please reach out to ORSEL to get connected with campus ministry groups and St. Louis organizations. It often happens that religious services occur during Fall Welcome. It is our goal that students will be able to fully observe their faith, practices, and traditions without missing important information. Students should reach out to a Second-Year Student Associate (2SA) if they plan to participate in a religious observance that conflicts with a welcome back event to ensure they have access to any information they miss. Please visit newstudents.wustl.edu for a listing of religious, spiritual, and ethical services and events happening during Fall Welcome.
