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 Villanova 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 Villanova faculty present their Teaching or Faith Journey stories (8-10 minutes each).
