Rich Miller-Murphy '24 knows what it is to carry more than one person should. In Road Trip Detour, he writes about losing his partner to AIDS, his mother to pancreatic cancer, and his grandfather to heart surgery complications - grief that arrived alongside serious illnesses of his own and the exhausting work of hiding his sexuality for fear of what it might cost him professionally. The weight of it led to two psychiatric hospitalizations. Yet, through sustained effort and resilience, Rich found his way to a life of meaning and service. Find out the dates for the book talks!

We love hearing about the meaningful moments happening in our classrooms! Professor Aida Mansoor recently asked peacebuilding students in her field education course to paint what holds meaning for each of them. The cohort took it a step further. Alongside their individual paintings, they also created a group piece representing their faith traditions together.
