Description

University of Dayton (UD) signed on to the Laudato si Action Platform (LSAP) and Marianist Family Encounters Project (MFEP) to do our part towards a hope-filled, just and sustainable future. https://udayton.edu/provost/lsg/. Students of all majors have important roles in advancing these US and global movements on campus and in our communities, especially in this Jubilee Year of Hope. Join this interactive session with UD student leaders to learn more and share your ideas on how UD can best engage in climate action through the goals of caring for the earth, aiding the marginalized, ecological education, economics and spirituality, sustainable living, and community empowerment. These seven LSAP goals towards integral ecology integrate the UN Sustainable Development Goals and Catholic Social Teaching in Pope Francis’ 2015 encyclical - Laudato Si’ - Italian for “Praise be to you”. MFEP goals express our Marianist family spirit and community networks. Session will include: Background on UD-LSAP working group and how student leaders/organizations are already achieving goal aspects; faith-sharing about how participation gives glory to God and lives the gospel commitment to faith, justice and environmental care; exploring areas for future growth and how we each can contribute to LSAP/MFEP goals and build on campus initiatives; sharing successful collaborations and how positive partnerships can build a hope-filled future; envision how student, staff and faculty collaboration on LSAP goals can create greater impact on UD life and relationships with the greater Dayton community as well as Catholic Universities and Marianist institutions networks; inviting students to participative actions including spring events and planning for next year. We’ll go forth empowered as a unifying body to promote a future of hope that involves coordination between students, faculty, and staff in achieving the inspiring, impactful LSAP/MFEP goals throughout campus, Marianist family, church, and world.
