Faculty Retreat Series 2026-2027

The Heart of the University Retreat Series is offered primarily for the faculty who, as the heart of the University, express its deepest convictions by their teaching. It is about the human heart as a place of encounter with God.

These retreats will give faculty and administrators of faith the opportunity for input and guided reflection. The spirit of the series is captured by the Latin "cor ad cor loquitur," heart speaks to heart, which was the motto of John Henry Newman, author of The Idea of a University. This year's retreat series is Carriers of Meaning as Spiritual Paradigm. 

1. Carriers of Meaning: The University Community - Communal Intersubjectivity
2. Carriers of Meaning: The University Mission - Incarnating Meaning, The Vocation of a University
3. Carriers of Meaning: Bridging Differences - Fostering Collaboration and Mission
4. Carriers of Meaning: Shared Horizons - From Differentiation to Communion

The Faculty Retreat Series includes the following directors and dates, all held from 9 to 11 a.m.

Sponsored by: The Office of Mission and Ministry, and the Center for Vocation and Servant Leadership.
