Want to Apply?
When considering an application for this pilgrimage, we ask you to consider the difficult realities we will be encountering as part of our experience. While your personal safety is always secure, it is expected that we will be faced with uncomfortable situations and expected to participate in conversations which may be well out of our comfort zone.
Faculty and Staff discerning an application are invited to consider the following questions.
1. What makes you think you are ready to benefit from this program, how does it relate to your personal commitments and desire for growth, and why do you feel called to participate?
2. In what ways would an experience such as this animate your understanding of the mission and purpose of the University of Scranton, and do you anticipate areas in which you could incorporate the experience into your work at the University?
