Rev. Jee Hae Song

Hendricks Chapel is excited to introduce Rev. Jee Hae Song as United Methodist chaplain. “I am delighted to welcome Rev. Song to our campus community,” says Rev. Brian Konkol, dean of Hendricks Chapel. “To partner with Bishop Héctor A. Burgos Núñez and the United Methodist Church is a joy. Rev. Song is an outstanding leader, and I look forward to our continued partnership in service to our students, faculty, staff, alumni and friends.”

Song is a first-generation immigrant from Seoul, South Korea, who moved to Syracuse in 2016 to serve three United Methodist congregations in the Upper New York Conference: St. Paul’s United Methodist Church (Syracuse), Hope Korean United Methodist Church (Syracuse) and Warners United Methodist Church (Warners). Song also served as the director of Hope Christian Student Fellowship, a religious and spiritual life group registered with Hendricks Chapel from 2019-21.

Song was born and raised in Seoul and moved to the United States in 2012 to further her education. She attended The Candler School of Theology of Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia, where she earned a Master of Divinity in 2015. She also resided in Seattle, Washington, and Evansville, Indiana, before moving to Syracuse.

As a passionate storyteller who speaks both Korean and English fluently, she weaves biblical and modern-day stories, inviting participants to strengthen and grow their relationship with God. Song is passionate about community-building, education and assisting young adults in navigating life paths.

“I am thrilled to return to Syracuse University and Hendricks Chapel as a chaplain,” says Song. Students, faculty, staff, alumni and friends can meet Rev. Song during weekly Bible study, the Eat, Pray & Connect dinners, or during her weekly office hours. You can find more about the United Methodist Chaplaincy on the Hendricks Chapel website.

As the newest member of a growing and diverse group of chaplains at Hendricks Chapel, Song will partner with other chaplains to draw upon Methodist traditions and practices, develop interfaith partnerships and serve as a resource for the entire campus community.
