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.

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.

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.
