Global Spirituality & Activism Certificate
The Global Spirituality and Activism Certificate nurtures the spark of belonging in each person that, when activated, serves as a catalyst for building a more just world.
Grounded in the values of compassion, love, wisdom, and empathy that together illuminate sacred and secular visions of a better world, this program offers students a community of mentors and peers that sits, shares, and works together to create positive change.
Completed with a cohort of student peers, this program invites students to develop a more holistic, intentional way of being in connection with others and the broader world. Within a community-based framework of contemplation, reflection, and activism, students will begin a process of transformation extending to individual, communal and systemic healing.
This certificate program is sponsored by the Interfaith Center and the Center for Student and Community Engagement.
