Vigils

From time to time, it may be appropriate to mark a loss or tragedy on campus or in the wider community with a vigil. Emory OSRL's chaplains are available to support Emory students, faculty, and staff members with planning vigils--which can be religious, spiritual, interfaith, and/or humanistic.

OSRL can provide planning support, coordination, AV support, publicity, access to candles and supplies, support with transmitting charitable donations, etc. For more information, please contact religiouslife@emory.edu.
