Book Event - Blessings for Your Students: Prayers for Interfaith Communities in Higher Education

Come join us at Hartford International University for Religion and Peace to celebrate this publication by Rev. Dr. Janet Fuller, who has a long history of chaplaincy in higher education and now co-directs HIU's MA in Chaplaincy. For those who can't attend in person, the event will be livestreamed to our Facebook page.

The event will also feature a panel of speakers, including HIU President Joel N. Lohr, Dr. Lucinda Mosher, Yale University Chaplain Maytal Saltiel, and Yale University Director of Muslim Life Omer Bajwa.

Blessings for Your Students is an essential interfaith resource for university chaplains and spiritual leaders in higher education. The book will be for sale at the event.

"For use in part or whole, or as templates for other prayers, these blessings provide a voice for academic communities as they gather to give thanks, remember, and look to the future, all using language that commends itself to many spiritual paths or none at all. The prayers can also be adapted for chaplain use in hospitals, prisons, continuous care retirement communities, military gatherings, and many others," the publisher said.
