Festive

This week our college is celebrating the work of our intrepid students, who have continued, despite pandemic and zoom quarantine, to do remarkable things. Religious Studies is a comparatively tiny program but is well represented. The poster session of today's Dean's Honor Symposium included three projects which grew out of our classes - Mia Perez's "Seminarium: Literary Mysticism and Us" and Skye Telleen's "Jesus as Mother," inspired by the course "Meetings with Remarkable Mystics," and Kate Zibluk's "Cyclical Scripture," which began as a final project for "Performing the Problem of Suffering: The Book of Job and the Arts." And tomorrow our Spring Roundtable will feature the work of two graduating seniors, Elliott Ryan and Stephanie Zamarripa, whose capstone research projects afford them special insights into the unnerving phenomenon of "QAnon and Religion." Congrats!
