Welcome to the Chaplaincy at the University of Exeter. We hope you enjoy your time here as a chaplain and take part in everything that the University has to offer. The Chaplaincy is a group of people from different religious traditions working together to serve the whole University Community; seeking wholeness, peace and justice through compassion, tolerance, wisdom and respect. We aspire to nurture and encourage spiritual awareness in those we meet, and we are open and available to everyone. We aim to be hospitable and inclusive at all times and we are located in the student Support Services Centre, The Forum and in the Chaplaincy Rooms, The Old Library (which includes areas for quiet, relaxation and a kitchen.) The Chaplaincy is coordinated by the Lazenby Chaplain, Revd Dr James Theodosius (Room 110, Old Library, 01392 725858; [email protected]). In recent times, we have set ourselves the three aims: to improve Chaplaincy communication with all aspects of the University; to en- courage religious literacy within a secular environment; and to foster a sense of shared community at the heart of a large institution. We pro- vide opportunities for worship and for faith to be nurtured and deep- ened. We also engage with those who have questions about the mean- ing of life. We are always ready to discuss issues of faith, daily living or any personal matter in confidence at all times. We all agree to abide by the University Multi Faith statement and the Equality and Diversity policies. The team cover both the Streatham and St Luke’s campuses and is linked with the University of Exeter in Cornwall at the Penryn campus (shared with Falmouth University). We maintain a weekly duty rota on the Streatham Campus during term time which means that there is a Chaplain on duty, based in The Fo- rum, but wandering throughout the University each day during the week. The majority of our contact with students and staff is by en- counter in their everyday life. 2 History of the University The University of Exeter was founded and received its Royal Charter in 1955, although its prede- cessor institutions, the Royal Albert Memorial College and the University College of the South West of England, were established in 1900 and 1922 respectively. The University acquired the for- mer St Luke’s College in 1978 which now forms the St Luke’s Campus. The University's Chancellor is Baroness Floella Benjamin, an actress, author and businesswoman. Its Vice-Chancellor is Profes- sor Sir Steve Smith, a former President of Universities UK (2009–2011). In March 2012, the university accepted an invitation to become a member of the Russell Group of leading research-oriented UK universities. The university was previously a member of the 1994 Group and is a member of Universities UK, the European University Association, and the Associa- tion of Commonwealth Universities. The university has three campuses: Streatham; St Luke's (both of which are in Exeter); and Penryn in Cornwall. The university is centred in the city of Exeter, Devon, where it is the principal higher education institution. Streatham is the largest campus containing many of the university's admin- istrative buildings, and is regarded as one of the most beautiful in the country. The Penryn cam- pus is maintained in conjunction with University College Falmouth un-der the Combined Universi- ties in Cornwall (CUC) initiative. The University of Exeter has been described by The Sunday Times as one of nine universities which form England's unofficial "Ivy League" due to the high academic attainment of its entrants. The university was named Times Higher Education University of the Year 2007/2008, and has maintained a top ten position in the National Student Survey since the survey was launched in 2005. Exeter is currently ranked between 9th and 13th in the latest ranking compilations of uni- versities in the United Kingdom. There has been a Chaplain at the University from its origins, initially connected to the Mary Harris Memorial Chapel of the Holy Trinity (based on the Streatham Campus) and to the Theology Facul- ty. The Lazenby Chaplain is an official of the University, and is appointed jointly by representatives of the University, the Diocese of Exeter and the St Luke’s College Foundation. The Chaplaincy be- came multi faith in 2008 in accordance with the ethos of an international research based Universi- ty and for the purposes of pursuing active inter faith dialogue between the major faith traditions. 3 Colleges and De- partments The Business School College of Life and Environ- Accounting mental Sciences Economics Biosciences Finance Geography Leadership Psychology Management Sport and Health Sciences College of Engineering, College of Social Sciences and Mathematics International Studies and Physical Sciences Arab and Islamic Studies Camborne School of Mines Education Computer Science Law Engineering Politics Geology Sociology and Philosophy Mathematics Medical Imaging Medical School Mining and Minerals University of Exeter Medical Engineering School Physics and Astronomy Renewable Energy College of Humanities Archaeology Classics and Ancient History Drama English Film Studies Foreign Language Centre History Modern Languages Theology and Religion Visual Culture Halls of Residence Self—Catered Accommodation Birks Grange Village Exeter Halls Holland Hall Mardon Hall Rowancroft/House/Mews Catered Accommodation Clydesdale Court Clydesdale Rise Cooks Mews/Llewellyn Mews Duryard Halls of Residence are situated all Garden Hill House over the campus, [see map , p16]. There are several different types of King Edward Court accommodation. Catered, Self– ca- tered and City rented, all at various Lafrouda expenditure according to means. It is good to familiarise yourself with Nashgrove where the residences are and to in- troduce yourself to the University Northfield Residents Life Team. Rowe House Where Residences are managed by outside agencies, it is essential for Chaplains to make contact with the St David’s Management of the Residences and introduce themselves to them. We do St German’s not have a right to enter any resi- dence without permission. 5 Residence Life Teams Am Residence Life Teams have an in-depth knowledge of the support and well- being services on offer at the University and provide support to students living in University accommodation. Living away from home in a new city (or country) can bring new challenges, so every student living in our accommodation is assigned a Residence Life Mentor who has experience of student life. Students can speak to them confidentially about whatever is on their mind. And they will visit one evening a week to answer questions, help with any problems, and keep them up-to-date with what’s going on in the University and city. Overnight, members of the Residence Life Night Patrol support Security by visiting residences. If anyone has a problem late at night they may contact security who will arrange for a member of the team to help. Two full-time Residence Life Advisors lead the Residence Life Teams and are involved with student welfare across all the resi- dences. As a Chaplaincy Team we are invited to take part in the training of the Residence Life Teams and, if we feel it to be part of our minis- try, we are allocated to a Residence Life Team (Red or Yellow) and are available to that Team for support and emergency contact. The Lazenby Chaplain is contactable 24/7 on the Chaplaincy emergency number. If you feel you would like to be involved in this support, please speak to the Lazenby Chaplain. 6 Where Do We Fit? Within the University, the Chaplaincy Team sits within Academic Services, but we are also responsible to our different faith communities who are rep- resented through the University Chaplaincy Sponsors Group.. University of Exeter Faith Communities Head of Academic Sponsor Chaplains Services Sponsors Group Meets minimum 2 x year Chaplaincy Team Coordinated by Lazenby Chaplain Meets every 2 weeks on a Tuesday afternoon STUDENTS STAFF Faith Societies Staff Association Relationship with Guild officers Staff Wellbeing Academics Student Services Centre College Managers College Departments Campus Services Residence Life Teams Wellbeing Services Student Guild : Making links with the whole University and with the City of Exeter faith communities 7 Training There are opportunities for Training to sharpen your Chap- laincy skills. A course from the churches Higher Education Group can pro- vide insight into the role of a chaplain. Chaplains are encour- aged to seek out train- ing which will help de- velop their role on cam- pus and to engage with the staff online training. Away Days This is an opportunity for Chaplains to take time out to be to- gether. The themes vary from discussing issues to listening to and learning from one another and our faiths. This helps the team to grow in fellowship and understanding as well as fo- cussing on what is important to Chaplaincy. 8 Student Services Student Support Services encompasses the Disability Resource Centre, Student Wellbeing, the International Student Support Office, Community Relations and close links with the Chaplaincy. The Chaplaincy University budget is set within the framework of Student Services and we fall within the structure of Academic Services.
