   <title>‘A transformative refuge’: Finding myself and community in Skidmore’s Wilson Chapel </title>

   <description>Grace Mahon ’26 has never really considered herself particularly religious but has found programs offered by Skidmore’s Office of Religious and Spiritual Life invaluable as she has navigated the transition to college life. Yoga classes through Skidmore’s Mindfulness Program have helped her manage stress and bond with peers. It’s one of numerous ways that Skidmore supports spiritual and religious growth and fellowship on campus. </description>
