Does everything happen for a reason? Where does morality factor into career choice? And more simply, how are you doing anyway?

All are welcome to the Common Table—a casual, drop-in time to share lunch and conversation on a topic of spirituality, belief or values as we explore together what it’s like to be a person in the world. Hosted by Religious and Spiritual Life staff and a rotation of student, faculty and staff guests. Please reach out if you'd like to co-host a conversation!

This program ran Fall 2018 through Spring 2020 and is currently paused.
