Mid-Autumn or the Moon Festival is one of the most celebrated festivals in China, Korea and Vietnam. It takes place on the 15th of the eighth month on the lunar calendar when the moon is the roundest and fullest during the year. It symbolizes a time of reunion of family, thanksgiving for the harvest and the nature. You can also come with your traditional attires from your native lands and share your unique culture! Meet at the outdoor entrance of the LeConte GTU building where we will have some simple food, and will have moon-cake and green tea as desserts.
The Asia Project at the GTU cordially invites the GTU community to its sixth Semi-Annual Student Colloquium on Monday, October 15, 2018 @ 12:30-2:00 pm.

As I move toward the completion of my doctoral work at the GTU, I am increasingly musing over questions about the nature of education—and particularly the nature of interreligious education. I believe teaching is part of my calling as a theologian, as it is for so many others here at the GTU.
