About Us
Pathways is a new program on campus that aims to promote tolerance and understanding across religious and cultural group on campus. Funded by a federal grant, the project is the result of the leadership and vision of a consortium of partners, representing student organizations and faculty members from across the university.
This initiative features two dialogue seminars offered for full credit through the Experimental College: The Power of Narrative: Exploring the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict through Literature and Film and Pathways to Faith: Religious Pluralism Dialogue.
The Power of Narrative explores how narrative informs and shapes the views of the different characters in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Meanwhile, Pathways to Faith explores the beliefs and traditions of the three faiths, as well as their different views on contemporary issues, such as gender roles, humankind’s relation to the environment, and the connection between religion and the state.
In addition, students can also get involved in Pathways by joining the steering and planning committees. These commitees guide and plan programming such as an annual retreat in the fall, speakers series, celebratory dinners, and Interfaith Awareness Week in the spring.
