UGA Department of Religion wants to put spirituality back into care

Many consider college a time for young people to find their calling. Religion experts at the University of Georgia say they are well poised to guide students as they find their vocation. As a result, the Department of Religion has begun the Spiritual Wellbeing Initiative.

Dr. J Derrick Lemons is a professor of religion at the University of Georgia. Meg Rooney is a current graduate student helping to run the Spiritual Wellbeing Initiative. They sat down with WUGA’s Emma Auer to discuss spiritual wellbeing and how students at the University of Georgia can engage with their new initiative. Here’s that conversation.
