Much education, of course, especially during collegiate studies, occurs in a variety of settings other than formal courses.  As an acknowledgment of this factor, the Faculty of the Department for Studies of Religions and Spirituality offers the following additional opportunities for learning about varieties of religious and spiritual phenomena in different venues: the Forum on Religions, Spirituality, and Culture; and the Helen and Wm. Gordon Ross Lectureship on Religions, Spirituality, and Culture.
