Faith and Intellectual Life Discussion Group

Wine and books imageAll UP faculty and staff are welcome to participate in the Faith and Intellectual Life Discussion Group. We read and discuss ideas that matter in a convivial gathering, with good people and reasonable refreshments, in the Murphy Room (Franz Hall).  Contact Karen Eifler (eifler@up.edu) or Norah Martin (martinn@up.edu) if you have suggestions for readings, poems or images to share. Bring a friend!
