JST Announcements
  • WE NEED YOUR INPUT! JST is undergoing reaccreditation this year with the Association of Theological Schools. We need to collect JST student impressions about our self-study. Be part of this important process by participating in a one-hour focus group either in person (meal provided) or by Zoom. Two focus groups are scheduled: Focus group 1: Tuesday, November 9 at 6:10 pm, Classroom 217, Zoom option available (link to be communicated) Focus group 2: Wednesday, November 10 at 12:00 pm, Classroom 217, Zoom option available (link to be communicated). Register here!
  • All are invited to a workshop, “The Future of Catholic Evangelization in the Era of Disaffiliation,” given by Dr. John M. Rinaldo, Pastoral Associate for Adult Faith Formation, St. Thomas More Catholic Community, in the Diocese of Las Vegas.  Wednesday, November 17, 2:30 to 4:30 p.m. via Zoom.  See here for more information.   Please sign up by noon on Friday, Nov. 12 with Mary Beth Lamb, melamb@scu.edu.
  • Duo Two Factor Authentication: All students will be required to access Duo 2FA on November 9 in order to access your SCU accounts in Google Workspace (your SCU email) and Workday (if you are a student worker). Please enroll in Duo 2FA by Nov. 9 in order to avoid interruption to your service. Directions for enrolling are here.
  • Monday, November 8 – begins Early Registration for the Intersession’22 term and for the Spring’22 semester.  For Spring’22 you have two weeks (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 3rd column (“session”) – for “Intersession” courses. If you have any questions, contact Jim Oberhausen, joberhausen@scu.edu.

Diwali Storytelling
3:00-4:00 p.m. PST over zoom

Celebrate Diwali with tales of valiant heroes, a clever washerwoman, and the cow-herding deity Krishna, told by some of the museum’s talented storytellers. Hindus, Jains, and Sikhs around the world observe Diwali, the Festival of Lights, on the darkest night of the year by lighting small clay oil lamps, known as dipas or diyas. Diwali marks the beginning of the new year according to the Indian lunar calendar. This year, Diwali falls on Nov. 4. For all ages.
