Julia Watkins
College Chaplain and Director of Religious & Spiritual Life
Education
- M.Div. Princeton Theological Seminary
- B.S. Davidson College
Background
I originally came to Davidson as a student and returned as college chaplain in August 2023.
In this role, I lead a multifaith chaplaincy team to support our community in expressing, exploring, and practicing particular traditions, beliefs, and worldviews in a diverse, respectful, and pluralistic environment. I work with our team to envision and coordinate a variety of resources and programs to this end, and I serve as a pastoral presence for the college community.
Prior to Davidson, I served as a pastor with Presbyterian Church (USA) congregations in Philadelphia, Charlotte, and Greenville, SC, with a focus on local justice initiatives and community building.
