Events

Every year, speakers, panels, activities, performances and experiences shape an interchange on a unique and timely topic that enriches conversations and learning across the University’s many disciplines.
2. Gros Memorial Event
Inspired by the seminal vision of Brother Jeffery Gros, FSC, that all people need to work for understanding and unity among varied religious perspectives, the Gros Institute hosts an annual memorial event to explore dimensions of interfaith and intercultural leadership focused on the common good with cutting-edge scholars and practitioners. The event aims to support sustained, justice-centered dialogue toward social action among students, faculty, staff, and neighbors who relate to religion differently.
3. The FIRE: Fostering Interfaith Relationship through Encounter
The annual Interfaith Forum, known as The FIRE (Fostering Interfaith Relationship through Encounter), seeks to bring together representatives of diverse religious traditions and worldviews for the purpose of engaging in dialogue and building bridges across difference. Every year we gather in community around 鈥渢he FIRE鈥� to share stories, break bread, and connect communities. Often, we find that we share values and convictions that place our feet on common ground, even as we celebrate the rich diversity of one another鈥檚 unique traditions and perspectives. We strive to work side by side in a spirit of solidarity to foster greater understanding and action toward justice.
4. Circle Training
Rooted in indigenous practices and utilized for restorative justice, community building, reflection and conflict transformation, peace circles employ ritual, talking pieces, shared values, deep listening, and egalitarian relationship-building to free participants to enter into storytelling and holistic healing. Those in circle reflect on their own journeys and experiences, the interdependence of human beings with one another and creation, and the impact of dysfunctional systems on people and other beings.
