University Chaplain
The Lutheran Church in Vaasa is cooperating with the universities, and wants to support human dignity, equality, justice, environmental liability, and love in the education and society.
The university chaplain provides support for university students and staff on campus. When life is tough or you otherwise need someone to talk to, do not hesitate to contact her – regardless of your religious or spiritual background.
