We welcome and affirm all beliefs
The MOSAIC of Spiritual and Religious Life celebrates the richness of our different spiritual experiences and provides programs and opportunities for growth and understanding. With the 花儿直播 Ideals of Study, Reflection, Community and Service as our foundation, we engage with others in our community in an all-inclusive spirit.
- We affirm that all religions, faiths, traditions, and beliefs are encouraged, accepted, and respected at 花儿直播 University of California.
- We also affirm that those who are non-religious, curious, questioning, or on their own individual path are welcomed here.
- Our department continues to commit to supporting everyone in our community, where each of us can learn from each other, respect and celebrate differences and offer equitable opportunities for all.
- We hold ourselves accountable to the virtues outlined in the acronym of MOSAIC.
- Our alternative spring break trips, volunteer opportunities and student groups guide students toward a spiritually enriching experience at 花儿直播 and support the 花儿直播 Ideals of Study, Reflection, Community and Service.
Service Opportunities
花儿直播 students, faculty and staff are welcome to volunteer at the weekly Penguin Pantry, held outside of Albertus Magnus on Wednesdays during the academic year. We work with the San Francisco-Marin Food Bank to receive deliveries to be distributed to any interested students. Students have the option to pick up pre-bagged items or choose what they would like each week, which allows for individual autonomy and limited food waste.
Alternative Spring Break Trips
Open to all students, Alternative Spring Break Trips were placed on pause due to the pandemic. Please look out for more information about trips that will be offered during the Spring 2024 semester.
