• New Student Faith Sharing Group For Women: Faith, Fellowship, Fun and Female (and yes, Food)! Spring Semester 2022: Inviting all JST women students to a new faith sharing group where we can claim God’s dream for each of us. We want to empower each other to flourish in prayer and confidence. We hope for fun and laughter too! Please email Anne Zehren, M.T.S. student, at azehren@scu.edu if you are interested in being part of this new group. She would like group members (and the Holy Spirit!) to help lead and define the format.

• The SCU Arrupe Fellowship program brings together ten undergraduate students to work in community settings, supervise their peers doing social justice projects, and engage in advocacy and formation. An opportunity exists for a JST student to help manage this program in the spring 2022 semester and serve as a mentor for the Fellows while exploring new community placements for our experiential learning for social justice core requirement. Work for the Arrupe Fellowship program will be paid hourly. If interested, please contact Jennifer Merritt, Director of Community-based Learning for the Ignatian Center for Jesuit Education, email: jmerritt@scu.edu. Please apply by Friday, Dec. 3.

• Early Registration for the Intersession’22 term and for the Spring’22 semester.  For Spring’22 you have until Friday, November 19 to register for spring courses.  On that day, Early Registration will end – and registration won’t re-open until January 17.  Early registration helps us know which courses students are most interested in, and which ones are not likely to have enough students.  So, please, register early for as many courses as you feel confident about.  You can always make adjustments later in January.  

  You can already begin now to look over the courses that are being offered both for Intersession and Spring on the GTU Course Schedule.  The Intersession courses are listed along with the spring ones under “Spring’22”.  When you bring up the spring courses, check the 3^rd column (“session”) – for “Intersession” courses. If you have any questions, contact Jim Oberhausen, joberhausen@scu.edu.

The Indigenous Solidarity Network has developed a toolkit for discussing Thanksgiving with family, friends, and the broader community in order to dismantle the myths that hide and erase how the US is founded on genocide, and to open up conversations about race. Click here to view the toolkit.
