The CAS/IPE Faculty Development Program held its Third Faculty Colloquium last August 12. Three faculty members shared the insights they gained from their research as well as from other experts in their field.
Dr. Lani Junio of the Department of Philosophy presented the basic ideas she culled from an Acton Institute conference she attended on the “Foundations of a Free and Virtuous Society.” The conference defined a free and virtuous society as “one where the inherent dignity of the human person is recognized and respected, where individuals can use their freedom in a manner consistent with virtue and common good.”
Dr. Elizabeth Urgel of the Department of Pacific Rim Studies presented a summary of her study on "Owning Christianity: The Case of Couples for Christ and El Shaddai," which she presented during the 3rd SSEASR Conference on Waters in South and Southeast Asia: Interaction of Culture and Religion in Bali, Indonesia. She showed how the two Catholic movements have helped the Catholic Church flourish through locally developed ways of spreading the faith.
Coach Luigi Bercades of the PE Department described functional training, which comprises exercises specifically designed to improve performance or functional activities outside the training environment. Founded on the design of the human body and how it moves, functional training can result in the improvement of quality of life.
