PULLMAN, Wash. – From yoga to religion to community service, students today are seeking meaning through exploration of spirituality. The Higher Education Research Institute at UCLA defines spirituality in part as the “values we hold dear, our sense of who we are and where we come from – the meaning and purpose we see in our work and our life.”
What is the role of spirituality on campus and in the educational mission of the university? Can academic performance and individual wellbeing be enhanced by spiritual growth? Should publicly funded institutions promote spiritual development of students?
Please join professors, students and community members to debate this topic at noon Tuesday, Jan. 31, in the CUB Lair (first floor).
