Citizenship____________________________________

The Marilyn Domoto Endowed Fellowship. This award of $5,000 is made annually to one or two in-coming graduate students. There is no need to apply for this fellowship, the materials used for application to the MA Program are sufficient for this purpose.

Interaction between scholars and the education of the wider community on issues of religion is crucial to the health of both scholars and the community. With the Programs annual colloquia, scholars are able to share insights from diverse fields. With the annual lecture on Religion and Contemporary Public Life the community is educated in the importance of understanding religion in its global and pluralistic nature.
