Hendricks Chapel employs student workers, supports musical ensembles, offers support through the Student Opportunity Fund, Coach Mac Food Pantry, and Student Veteran Support Fund, and partners throughout the campus community to advance academic excellence at a university welcoming to all. As a central contributor to holistic life and learning at Syracuse University, Hendricks Chapel helps to prepare engaged citizens, scholars, and leaders for participation in a changing global society.
