Chaplain
Rev. Darice KW Dawson,* chaplain since 1996, received her Bachelor of Arts in Human Development Services (Mental Health track) from Eckerd College in 1991, and her Master of Divinity from Columbia Theological Seminary in 1994. She is specially trained for pastoral ministry and has an avid interest in the unique needs of young adults. Darice is an ordained Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) minister, but her work on campus is ecumenical in nature. Thus, she equally represents on campus all Protestant Christian denominations and churches. Look for her on Facebook.
* Darice is pronounced Duh-rees'
