Abstract
For my thesis project, I seek to understand the role that religion plays in the lives of students at Colby College. By examining the experiences of religiously affiliated students, and the religious groups and programming on campus, I place Colby College within the broader framework of religious pluralism and secularism on college campuses within the United States, and within the United States more broadly. With this knowledge, I address specific challenges surrounding religion at Colby and offer possible solutions.
