In conjunction with both regional and national consortiums, the Office of Mission and Ministry facilitates participation in the following programs for Rockhurst faculty, staff, and administrators.
Collegium
Collegium is a joint effort by 65 Catholic colleges and universities to recruit and develop faculty who can articulate and enrich the spiritual and intellectual life of their institutions. Collegium sponsors annual, weeklong summer colloquies for faculty from its member institutions from universities throughout the United States and Canada. The colloquies provide a collegial environment in which participants from diverse backgrounds, faiths, and disciplines can discuss the sources and implications of a Christian academic vocation. For further information, please contact the Office of Mission and Ministry at 816-501-4599.
