Good morning,

The College of Education is co-sponsoring a series of three Interfaith Encounters* - please see attached flyers with dates and times.

Please promote this with your students.  We hope to encourage great opportunities for interfaith dialogue.  Dean Wishon eloquently described this initiative as focusing "on some critically important issues facing humanity."

If students attend all three sessions, they will be eligible to apply to be camp counselors for an Interfaith Peace Camp** this summer that will be held in Memorial Hall from June 10-14th.  We will need an art, music and PE teacher in particular!!

We would love for our education students to be involved in this series of discussions.  Please contact Dara Hall [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> or Vesna Hart [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> if you have any questions!

Best,
Dara

*This work is being partially funded by an I.D.E.A. Grant - "Interfaith Engagement of JMU Students in Our Community", by Vesna Hart, Israa Alhassani & Dara Hall
** The mission of Interfaith Peace Camp for elementary aged students:  In the spirit of joy and curiosity, IPC builds friendships, values differences, and celebrates similarities among diverse faith traditions, with a special focus on Abrahamic faiths.
