Dear Alumni and Friends:
The 2017-2018 school year, by the numbers:
- 23 religion minors
- 39 religion majors
- 30% increase in the number of religion majors from last year
- 5 religion majors graduated during 2017-2018
- 7 students went to Oman/UAE with our study abroad program
- 9 new inductees to the Theta Alpha Kappa honor society
- 1023 Miami students enrolled in religion courses (close to 5% of Miami’s undergraduate student body
- $4600 in Experiential Learning grants awarded to our majors and minors
- $1700 raised during #MoveInMiami 2017 to support our students’ learning
Your giving enriches students’ learning.
In this issue of numinosity, we’ve highlighted our department’s Experiential Learning Grants. These are funded from two sources:
- Responsibility Centered Management (RCM) revenue. The university gives our department a share of any extra revenue generated by programs we create outside the fall and spring semesters, such as the Oman/UAE study abroad program.
- Gifts from you—alumni and friends of the department.
At the start of each school year, as new students move onto campus, Miami holds a fundraising campaign. For #MoveInMiami 2018, our department will raise funds for Experiential Learning Grants. Look for more info later in the summer.
Thank you to all who have given in the past! Please consider giving in August 2018.
James C. Hanges
Chair and Professor
