The Chaplain is responsible for the religious well-being and spiritual growth of the entire campus community. Serving under a call from the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, the Chaplain is expected both to affirm the faith and traditions of the ELCA to which Muhlenberg is related, and to serve a broadly diverse community.

As part of the Student Affairs Leadership Team, the Chaplain works with this team to address the full spectrum of student issues. This includes specifically collaborating with staff in Multicultural Life, Community Engagement, Housing and Residence Life, and Health and Counseling Services to support students’ health, mental health, spiritual growth and overall identity development.

The Chaplain supervises the work of the Director of the Leffell Center for Jewish Student Life, Assistant to the Chaplain, and part-time Chapel organist. The Chaplain also maintains a close working relationship with the Catholic Chaplain, and the campus representatives of DiscipleMakers Christian Fellowship. The Chaplain and staff partner with many offices and individuals on campus, including the Institute for Religious and Cultural Understanding, the Career Center, the Provost Office, and Enrollment Management.

The next College Chaplain will have the opportunity to work with all members of the community to define and articulate a vision for Religious Life in keeping with Muhlenberg today and in the future. They will find Christian students eager to develop their own identity and programming, and the opportunity to develop more active partnerships with a variety of campus offices and programs.

Other critical priorities will include 1) the need to identify and reach out to Muslim students and those of other faiths looking for structural and advising support from the College and local religious communities; 2) the need to build a stronger support network for the campus’s Roman Catholic community; 3) the need to establish new opportunities for students to engage in interfaith dialogue and spiritual development growth opportunities that complement current curricular and co-curricular learning experiences.

MUHLENBERG COLLEGE
Located in Allentown, Pennsylvania, Muhlenberg College is an independent, coeducational, private liberal arts institution that has, since its founding in 1848, been affiliated with the Lutheran Church. The name “Muhlenberg” was adopted in honor of the “patriarch” of the Lutheran Church in America, Henry Melchior Muhlenberg, and his family. The sons of Henry Melchior Muhlenberg made important contributions to the early life of our country. The College values its long affiliation with the Lutheran Church (ELCA), as well as the religious diversity of its student body.

MISSION
Muhlenberg College aims to develop independent critical thinkers who are intellectually agile, reasoned and civil debate, committed to understanding the diversity of the human experience, able to express ideas with clarity and grace, committed to life-long learning, equipped with ethical and civic values, and prepared for lives of leadership and service. The College is committed to providing an intellectually rigorous undergraduate education within the context of an inclusive and diverse campus; we strongly believe that diversity is essential to learning and to our success as a pluralistic community. Muhlenberg’s curriculum integrates the traditional liberal arts with selected pre-professional studies. Faculty are passionate about teaching, value close relationships with students, and are committed to the pedagogical and intellectual importance of research. All members of our community are committed to educating the whole person through experiences within and beyond the classroom. Honoring its historical heritage from the Lutheran Church and its continuing connection with the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, Muhlenberg encourages, welcomes, and celebrates a variety of faith traditions and spiritual perspectives.

THE COLLEGE
Muhlenberg stands out from other liberal arts institutions in many ways, particularly due to the deep sense of community across the campus. Faculty, staff and students embrace this spirit of belonging in ways large and small. Muhlenberg College is dedicated to shaping creative, compassionate, collaborative leaders through rigorous academic programs in the arts, humanities, natural and social sciences, and select pre-professional programs. Within a year of graduation 90% of Muhlenberg graduates are either enrolled in graduate or professional school or employed. Acceptance rates by medical and law schools typically range between 80% and 90% each year.

As part of eastern Pennsylvania’s scenic Lehigh Valley, nestled in the foothills of the Pocono Mountains, Allentown is a diverse city of 122,000, located 60 miles north of Philadelphia and 90 miles west of New York City. Along with neighboring Bethlehem and Easton, the region is home to a vibrant arts scene, a nationally unique parks system, and a rich blend of cuisine and diverse restaurants. The campus is set on 75 acres in West Allentown. To the south, the campus is bordered by Cedar Creek and Cedar Beach Park, with its beloved public gardens, picnic areas, and outdoor sculpture. To the east, members of the Muhlenberg community enjoy the revitalized 19th Street area with its classic cinema, restaurants, boutiques, and the Allentown Farmers’ Market all within a ten-minute walk from the campus. Downtown Allentown features multiple museums, a Symphony Hall, and a plethora of dining options from upscale local fare to Dominican and West Indian dining counters. Off-campus, the College also owns and maintains the 38-acre Raker Wildlife Preserve and the 64-acre Graver Arboretum. For a closer look at our campus, take a virtual tour.

STUDENTS
Though the majority of Muhlenberg students come from New Jersey, Pennsylvania and New York, thirty-one states, the District of Columbia, and six foreign countries are currently represented in the student population.

Increasing racial and ethnic diversity remains a priority for the College. In recent years, 18-20% of Muhlenberg students identify as Black or African-American, Asian or Pacific Islander, Latinx, or Native American or Indigenous. For Academic Year 20-21, the percent of students receiving PELL (for all undergraduates) is 18.8%. Muhlenberg is a welcoming community for LGBTQ+ students, faculty and staff.

DIVISION OF STUDENT AFFAIRS (DOSA)
Student Affairs at Muhlenberg College is made up of 14 departments including Athletics and Recreation, Campus Safety, Community Engagement, Dean of Students Office, Equity and Title IX, Health and Counseling Services, Multicultural Life, Prevention Education, Religious Life, Residence Life, Seegers Union and Campus Event Services, Student Conduct, Student Organizations, Leadership and Engagement, and Student Transitions.

Collectively, DOSA strives to accomplish critical student learning outcomes in its work on campus and beyond. Creating a healthy, safe campus environment that is both preventative and restorative in addressing critical college-age issues is of the utmost importance. In addition, opening the student life experience to be one that is diverse, inclusive, and equitable is also critical. The Division seeks to build a sense of belonging on campus for every student and to eliminate systemic barriers to student success and a broader sense of community. Finally, as part of the College’s broader goals of offering integrated learning experiences and a residential environment that fosters learning and growth for students, DOSA offers vibrant opportunities for social life, leadership development programs, and opportunities for mentorship and skill development in the residence halls, through teams, clubs and organizations, and through deep community engagement experiences in the greater Allentown area.

RELIGIOUS LIFE
Religious life at Muhlenberg is diverse: the three largest religious groups on campus are Jewish (29%), Catholic (29%), Protestant (19%) and a small but growing Muslim community, are served by an active Campus Ministry, led by the College Chaplain. At present the Religious Life staff is comprised of the College Chaplain (an ordained member of the Lutheran clergy), the Assistant to the Chaplain, the (part-time) College Organist, the Director of the Leffell Center for Jewish Student Life, Hillel Program & Engagement Associate, Hillel Office Manager, and an Israel Fellow. In addition, a Roman Catholic Chaplain appointed by the Bishop of Allentown serves the needs of Muhlenberg’s Roman Catholic community, and representatives of DiscipleMakers Christian Fellowship (DCF) meet regularly with Christian students on campus for Bible study, spiritual counseling, and fellowship. The College Chaplain chairs and convenes a campus Religious Life Association that collaborates on events and shares ministry updates in order to best serve religious and spiritual life on campus.

Muhlenberg College Hillel is one of the largest and most active student organizations on campus. The College recently invested almost $4 million in a renovation and expansion of the Leffell Center for Jewish Student Life, as well as a renovation of the main campus dining facilities that added kosher kitchens and the availability of kosher food as part of the regular campus meal plan.

The College’s Newman Center was expanded and renovated approximately 6 years ago, and provides space for fellowship as well as a small chapel where weekday Mass can be held.

The Muhlenberg community celebrates and is invigorated by the religious diversity on campus. Christian students frequently participate in Shabbat dinners at Hillel. Jewish students sing in the Gospel Choir and the College Choir (which performs at the annual Advent Candlelight Carol services). Muhlenberg is also home to the Institute for Religious and Cultural Understanding (IRCU), which brings together members of the campus and local communities, local clergy, and others to focus on interfaith education.

A COLLEGE-WIDE COMMITMENT TO EQUITY, INCLUSION, AND ANTI-RACISM
Muhlenberg College deeply values having a campus community committed to supporting the sense of belonging, engagement, and academic and personal success of every student across their many identities and backgrounds. Furthermore, we are made better by attracting, retaining and supporting a diverse faculty and staff to lead our institution. The College has also recently publicly stated its commitment to anti-racism and to dismantling structures and practices that prevent the full inclusion of marginalized members of our community.

As part of eastern Pennsylvania’s scenic Lehigh Valley, Allentown is a diverse city of 122,000, located just 60 miles north of Philadelphia and 90 miles west of New York City.
