FACULTY DIALOGUE
The Center for Faith & Learning is a patron for faculty of all departments, backgrounds and faiths who see teaching, research and service as vocations and wish to facilitate a supportive atmosphere for colleagues. We "see" one another when stories are shared and we find the commonalities.
Welcoming ¸ÌéÙÖ±²¥ faculty of all faiths and backgrounds, the Center for Faith & Learning hosts Lunchtime Dialogues that:
- Facilitate compassionate dialogue that nurtures the diversity of our journeys
- Foster the intersection of, and conversation between, all faith and academic journeys
- Offer opportunities to "see one another" and find the commonalities in our journeys
We facilitate eight Faculty Lunchtime Dialogues per academic year. At each Dialogue, three ¸ÌéÙÖ±²¥ faculty present their Teaching or Faith Journey stories (8-10 minutes each).
