The Center for Faith & Learning is a patron for faculty of all departments, backgrounds and faiths who see teaching/research/service as a vocation and wish to facilitate a supportive atmosphere for colleagues. We "see" one another when stories are shared and we find the commonalities.
Welcoming ALL Villanova faculty and ALL faiths, the Center for Faith & Learning hosts Lunchtime Dialogues that
Wednesday, April 19, Corr Hall Lounge @ 12:30–1:30PM
(our final dialogue of the semester)

During the last 13 years, The Center for Faith & Learning has hosted a total of 85 Faculty Luncheons - with 3 faculty presenters at each luncheon, over 250 past and present VU faculty have presenters at our luncheons!
We facilitate 8 Faculty Lunchtime Dialogues per academic year. At each Dialogue, three VU faculty present their Teaching or Faith Journey stories (8-10 minutes each).
To be a presenter at an upcoming Faculty Dialogue, you may nominate yourself or a faculty colleague for either of the gathering topics:
