Fish Interfaith Center at Chapman University

Rev. Nancy Brink, Executive Director of the Fish Interfaith Center, is retiring at the end of the month after 18 years of faithful service to Chapman University. Nancy has been pivotal in providing pastoral care and spiritual guidance to students, faculty, and staff and has expanded the programs and resources available to our Chapman Panthers. She oversaw the addition of a canvas labyrinth and the Heritage Edition of the Saint John's Bible to the Chapman, supported the establishment of the LGBTQIA+ faculty forum, invited many scholars, speakers, and artists to perform on campus, and encouraged interfaith understanding and cooperation.
