Hoya Saxa: Val Self Community

1 Credit · Level: Undergraduate

Title: Hoya Saxa: Values for Self and Community Description: Learn about Georgetown’s distinctive place in Catholic higher education and discover how key values (Community in Diversity, Contemplation in Action, Faith that Does Justice, and Care for Our Common Home) invite us to sharpen our moral vision and character for our own well-being and the world’s. Together, we will examine our human and ecological interdependence as an overlapping religious and secular basis for these values and learn from the past to shape our future. In addition to short academic readings, students will read stories and poems, watch movies and engage with guest lectures in order to reflect on and imagine how they can foster and honor their values. Come ready to discuss what we as a community do well and what we can do better.
