Student Programs 2016-2017 Annual Report

Abstract

The foundation of every program offered by the Berkley Center is the Jesuit commitment to cura personalis and liberal education, the centrality of religion as an important dimension of human experience, and reflective engagement with a world marked by diverse human cultures and pursuits. Our programs and courses, made possible in large part through the Doyle Engaging Difference Program, are designed to prepare students to negotiate our diverse and complex local, national, and international environments. Students can take courses at the center, work as research assistants, participate in fellowship programs, enhance their studies abroad, engage in interfaith activities, and blog about their experiences. This report highlights the Berkley Center’s core student programs during the 2016-2017 academic year.
