Interfaith Ambassadors Team Taking Applications for Fall 2024 Cohort

By Faculty and Staff, Students

If you are passionate about promoting belonging and justice and care about making sure people of all faiths feel safe and respected, you may be interested in joining the Interfaith Ambassadors team. Grow leadership, conflict resolution and creative problem-solving skills while learning about religions, spiritualities and cultural practices.

Interfaith Ambassadors work directly with the assistant director for spiritual wellness to show students of all faiths (and lack thereof) that they belong through education, advocacy and targeted problem-solving work. This is experiential learning and a great resume-builder. The group is now taking applications for the Fall 2024 cohort. Time commitment is generally 1 hour per week for meetings, and occasionally 2 or 3 hours for events. Ambassadors may also earn the Interfaith Leadership digital badge. Apply by September 5th.

PS: Spiritual Life is also hiring paid interns for the academic year! Learn more about internships on Handshake.

Beese-Havens Boathouse Fall ’24 Operational Hours

By Students

The Whitehouse Nature Center (WNC) is planning to offer canoeing and kayaking to students during the fall semester. The Beese-Havens Boathouse will be open one or two days a week. To do this, we need to know which days and time our students would prefer to visit the Boathouse and get on the Kalamazoo River!

Students are busy individuals who need time to destress and decompress and the WNC wants to work around the diverse schedules of our students the best we can. Please fill out the Google Form here while thinking about next semester’s class, club, sport, and job schedule.

 

Spread the word and tell your friends.  Individuals with any level of experience is encouraged and welcome!
