The Office of Religious, Spiritual, and Ethical Life (ORSEL) offers connections with a wide 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 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 their TX WUSA if they plan on missing an orientation event for a religious observance to ensure the student has access to any information they may miss.
