Starting this summer, join Dr. R. Jared Staudt’s EDU 680 in exploring Education as an initiation into a culture. This course examines how, throughout history, students have been formed through their education, not only to develop skills but to participate fully in a community. Drawing on St. John Paul II, Pope Benedict XVI, and Christopher Dawson, this course equips educators to form students well, teaching them to draw upon their studies to bring the Gospel into their communities, transforming them from within.
“We have been good in educating the intellect, but lacking in educating the will. For anyone who recognizes that we aren’t doing enough to form the living response in our students, I hope they would be in this class.” – Dr. R. Jared Staudt
Beginning May 27, 2025, this is more than a course—it’s a mission to renew Catholic education. Sign up now and be part of the movement!
