Serious Challenges, Authentic Encounters
See how Catholic social tradition invites us to respond to the changing demands of justice through rigorous engagement and encounter with local communities with Social Concerns Seminars. Seminars are academic courses that create opportunities for students to engage in social analysis, encounter community partners around the country, and reflect on their experience and its impact on individuals and communities. Most seminars include an immersion component which takes place during fall or spring break and require students to travel to different locations to address social concerns topics in context. The application deadline for spring 2022 is January 12, 2022. Learn more and apply on the seminars webpage.
