Our first meeting of the academic year is set for September 3, 12-1:30 p.m., in Taylor 303. The subject: “Introductory discussion about faith-learning integration.” Here’s a description from the program chair, Anthony Tongen:

How does your faith impact your vocation?  How does a student’s faith impact how he or she views his or her subject matter?  Does it matter?  We are going to focus on these types of questions this year.  Whether you are a faculty member who can contribute your insight on faith-learning integration in your field, a faculty member who has never thought about faith-learning integration or a staff member who daily interacts with students who may struggle with these concepts, you are invited to come and help us consider these issues.  Please go to http://www.virtualsalt.com/int/ and read either “Defining the Integration of Faith and Learning” or “The Integration of Faith and Learning” for our first discussion.  Please come even if you do not have time to read the articles for a time of fellowship and discussion.
