Each month, we feature a staff, faculty, or administrator to share what matters to them most and why: reflections on their pivotal experiences, important identities, spirituality/faith/philosophy, deepest values, sense of meaning/purpose, commitments andpractices that guide, shape, sustain andmotivate them in this life. The series is an opportunity to be inspired by one another, build community, and to deepen connection through authentic sharing andconversation. We hope you will join us!
“What Matters to Me and Why” is held monthly on Thursdays from 1-2 pm in the Sacred Space (dates listed below). The program includes a 20-minute presentation by the featured speaker, a time of Q&A, and the final 15 minutes will be a light reception of coffee, tea, and the speaker’s favorite snack food!
