• The Office of Student Life is beginning to plan for various kinds of community life activities for the fall. Please fill out the following survey to indicate your interests.
• Students, faculty and staff: the fall 2020 directory is in the works! If you need to make a change/correction to your information from the past, please contact Mary Beth Lamb, melamb@scu.edu. If you have never been in the directory before, please submit this survey. You can also upload a new photo if you don't want to use the one from your student ID, but it needs to be a headshot against a solid background.
• Students interested in academic writing coaching and tutoring should contact the Writing Program Coordinator Laura Dunn by email at ldunn@scu.edu, or by phone (510) 519-8313 to set up an appointment. First priority is given to students writing their theses and dissertations. Writing labs (open to everyone) start on Wednesday, September 23, 3:00 - 4:15 p.m. PDT. The first will be an introduction to Academic Theology and Religion in the North American Academy. A recording of the lab will be posted on the writing program moodle page the following Friday. 
• The 21-Day Racial Equity Challenge is a 21-day journey conducted online by the Ignatian Solidarity Network, with different opportunities to learn, pray, and act for racial equity.  It is designed to fit into one's daily life.  If you would like to make this journey in the company of others at JST, please contact Paul Kircher, pkircher@scu.edu, and we will put those with the same interest in touch with each other to form a JST group.
• The add/drop period for registration ends on Friday, Sept. 18.

Daryl Grigsby, Renewal Student, has published an opinion column in the Nevada County newspaper, The Union, September 11, 2020: The Pandemic/America's Mirror.

This fall, the Ignatian Solidarity Network invites us  ". . . to exercise the right and responsibility to vote for candidates and issues that support the common good and concern for the most vulnerable people in our society." Please see more information at Voting Is an Act of Love, an ISN initiative to provide voter registration resources, in partnership with When We All Vote, a non-profit, nonpartisan organization that is on a mission to increase participation in every election and close the race and age voting gap.
