Collegium: A Colloquy on Faith and Intellectual Life
Annual Collegium Colloquy
June 14-21, 2024
College of the Holy Cross in Worcester, Massachusetts
Each year, CSB/SJU sends two faculty to a week-long summer colloquy through Collegium. The annual colloquy is on June 14-21, 2024 at College of the Holy Cross in Worcester, Massachusetts. Collegium is a joint effort by 65 Catholic colleges and universities to develop faculty who can articulate and enrich the spiritual and intellectual life of their institutions. One of the first things to know is that Collegium is NOT an experience meant only for people of Catholic faith. The common link between the approximately 70 faculty participants from around the country is that everyone works at a Catholic college or university. These faculty come together to explore and discuss what may be unique about higher education at a Catholic school, what may be advantages, and what may be challenges or difficulties. The goal is to better understand the context within which we all work and for faculty members to reflect on what role they play within that context. At every Collegium there are people of a wide variety of religious faiths as well as those who openly reject religious faith. Furthermore, Collegium is led by a very open group of people who care deeply about creating safe spaces for having important, in-depth, and honest conversations relating to the intellectual life of faculty within the Catholic higher education landscape. The deadline to apply for funding is February 12, 2024.
