Exploring Student Spirituality: A survey creation project with Multifaith Services

Abstract

My interest in the spiritual lives of university students led me to connect with UVic’s Multifaith Services (MFS). MFS noted the need for a comprehensive spirituality survey that could guide their future work. I completed a literature search on student spirituality, consulted with various spiritual leadership voices on campus, and thoughtfully crafted the survey. The survey remains under review and will likely be distributed in the coming year. I valued the opportunity to enhance my research toolkit throughout this process. Ultimately, my hope is that the survey will contribute to the development of welcoming, supportive, and accessible spiritual spaces for the UVic community.
