Location: Dialogue Center Registration cap: 25 participants (Register at go.lehigh.edu/LUERAC) Join us for trick or treating at the Dialogue Center! Lunch provided. Costumes are encourgaed though not required! It is Halloween afterall! What is the Dialogue Center anyway?? Well, if you ask most students, they will say something like, "I don't know...a language center?". "Ummm...I think it's that house next to the gym but I don't know who lives there." The building itself serves as the Office of the University Chaplain which directs the Dialogue Center. Formally, The Center for Dialogue, Ethics and Spirituality serves the educational mission of Lehigh University by providing space and resources designed to enhance the “ethical and spiritual development” of those who live and work at Lehigh—students, faculty and staff. Recognizing that people of good will disagree with one another on topics involving ethical analysis, spirituality and religious interpretation, the Center seeks to promote the values of open and free inquiry, engaged dialogue, and respect for persons regardless of race, ethnicity, religion, gender identity or sexual orientation. In support of Lehigh University’s stated commitment to “harmonious cultural diversity” and the expressed hope that “all members of the Lehigh community might develop as effective and enlightened citizens,” the Center is open to the entire campus to serve both academic and co-curricular needs. The students who are familiar with the space, use it to study, grab coffee or snacks or just relax. We have a prayer room, a meditation room, meeting rooms and a lactation room. There are many meetings held in our larger spaces and it just feels like home which can be a very comforting place to be. Come join us for a light lunch and check out the space!
