Welcome, staff and faculty, to another great school year at Finlandia University. It takes a village to work together in helping to greet,build up, encourage, lift up, educate and develop our students as we all walk along with them in their development as a whole person for their whole life.
The Chapel and the office of the Chaplain are open to all (employees and students) for centering and discussion. Reminder that the Chaplain’s office remains a confidential office.
As we look to begin another year, we also look to continue serving those in need. “The Table: A student needs pantry” is looking on the light side, and is in need of immediate donations to begin the school year to assist with our student’s needs in many and various ways.
