When Dawn Dimick (’23) decided to join the army, she had several career choices ahead of her. Through it all she felt prompted in one direction: to become a military chaplain. Dimick is now the first female military chaplaincy student at BYU, and she will be among the first endorsed by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. 

In this episode, learn what exactly chaplains do (beyond your knowledge of Father Mulcahy in the TV show M*A*S*H) and how the field of chaplaincy is growing at BYU.

Hear about Dimick’s journey and meet two others helping pioneer the field of chaplaincy for Latter-day Saint women: Delacie Barney (BA ’94, MA ’19), BYU’s first-ever healthcare chaplain grad, and Tamara Fitzgerald Harris (’79), chaplain services manager for the Church.

This episode of podcast is based on the article “Called to Service” by Denya I. Palmer (BA ’16) in the Winter 2023 issue of Y Magazine:https://magazine.byu.edu/article/called-to-service/.
