What can we find out about faith?"
This online seminar will "explore these and other questions about chaplaincy in a climate-changed world."

Application Due: Jan. 2, 2024 | Application Link Here
Fellowships at Auschwitz for the Study of Professional Ethics (FASPE) provides a unique historical lens to study contemporary ethics in the professions.

Digital Humanity?: Artificial Intelligence, Spirituality, and the Art of Human Connection | Grad Student Conference
Boisi Center for Religion and American Public Life at Boston College
Submissions Due: January 12th, 2024
Questions about what it means to forge, foster, and maintain authentic relationships are becoming increasingly fraught in our age of rapid technological development. While advances in artificial intelligence are destabilizing classical conceptions of technology, humanity, spirituality, and relationality, people of virtually every historical era and tradition have engaged with these broad categories. In the age of AI, ChatGPT, Instagram, TikTok, Tinder, Google and many others, this conference invites participants to draw on intellectual resources from various fields to engage in questions around what it means to relate to one another, oneself, and the broader world, and to envision what the call to relationship requires amidst advances in artificial intelligence and other technological innovations.
As an interdisciplinary conference, we welcome proposals from graduate and professional students in any discipline, including theology, ethics, philosophy, religious studies, political science, law, technology studies, anthropology, sociology, the digital humanities, disability studies, psychology, peace studies, nursing, social work, and related subject matters. The conference will be hybrid, with in-person and virtual options for attendance.
The award for best paper will be published in America Magazine.
Please email 300-word abstracts or artistic submissions to boisi.center@bc.edu no later than Friday, January 12th, 2024. For other important submission guidelines, please see the full call for submissions here: Digital Humanity Call for Submissions

At JRS/USA, we depend on the support of Jesuit institutions and the greater Ignatian-inspired family as we continue the legacy of Fr. Arrupe by accompanying, serving, and advocating for and with refugees. We invite you to reflect on the life of Fr. Pedro Arrupe and be inspired by his witness as you renew your commitment to forcibly displaced persons. No matter your role in your community, whether it be administrative, educational, social, or pastoral, you can contribute to the JRS mission of accompaniment, service, and advocacy.
Superior General Fr. Arturo Sosa, S.J. has invited the global Ignatian family to recognize November 14th as JRS Day, the anniversary of the founding of JRS. Together, we hope to commemorate Fr. Arrupe’s now famous call for personal and social change to become “People For and With Others” We hope you can join us.

CAPS (Counseling and Psychological Services) Short-Term Therapy
CAPS continues to offer short-term therapy. The basic steps to getting started in CAPS are outlined below, and the CAPS website has more detailed information on short-term therapy services:
- First Step: Phone consultation. Students can call 408-554-4501 to schedule a phone consultation, which takes 15-25 minutes. During this call, CAPS staff assess if the therapeutic support a student is seeking fits within the short-term therapy model at CAPS. Collaboratively, the therapist and student will determine next steps.
- If short-term therapy is recommended, a CAPS therapist will then reach out to the student to schedule a 50 minute intake appointment via the SCU Health Portal.
- If referral to an off-campus therapist or services is recommended, an appointment with the Cowell Center Clinical Case Manager will be offered to support the referral process.
*Reminder: There are no limits on the number of therapy sessions and no fees at CAPS, but services are designed to be short-term.
Campus Safety Services encourages students, faculty, and staff to be an active participant in your personal and community safety. The following safety reminders will help keep campus safety a priority:
