Belonging and Inclusion

The Office of Belonging and Inclusion (OBI) empowers a diverse and inclusive campus community by nurturing a culture where every student experiences a deep sense of belonging, acceptance, and connection. Formed through the strategic integration of Multicultural Programs and Religious & Spiritual Life, OBI centers holistic student well-being through intercultural engagement, spiritual care, and inclusive community building.

We consist of office staff and a team of part-time chaplains, and are in Glavin Chapel and the Diversity Suite. 

OBI supports students across all identities and worldviews through educational programs, supporting identity-based and faith-based student groups, and opportunities for intercultural and interfaith learning. Providing s:tudents the opportunity to practice, learn, and connect, we host several weekly offerings, campus wide events , and religious holidays and holy days.

Religious and Spiritual Life

Religious literacy, social responsibility, soul care, interfaith, intercultural exchange—these are critical to not only your wellbeing but your growth as a human.

As an institution, Babson does not have any religious affiliation and welcomes all faiths, all cultures, and all traditions. Being surrounded by diverse religious cultures allows you to exchange ideas and develop interfaith relationships that enable you to appreciate religious tolerance and celebrate religious freedom. 

Along with our campus locations, Wellesley and surrounding cities and towns have places of worship not affiliated with Babson that span religions and denominations. We encourage all our students to seek out the spiritual support and community they need.

On campus, you’ll find multifaith programs and events, spiritual guidance, faith formation, and leadership workshops that allow you to explore, grow, and support your faith and spiritual life.

Chaplains serve the entire Babson community, regardless of faith. The Babson team includes Catholic, Jewish, Muslim, and Protestant chaplains, all providing space for interfaith discussion with a focus on strengthening faith and addressing current social and religious challenges in the world.
