Each week, chaplains offer an open invitation to students to join them for lunch and dinner in the Terrace Dining Room and the Market Place. In the Classroom Almost all academic disciplines focus on religious issues in some aspect. Kay-sponsored scholarly lectures and discussions give the academic experience broader historical, cultural, and ethical perspectives. The Table Talk Lunch Series brings Washington-based and AU speakers to lead panel discussions on pressing social concerns such as poverty, discrimination, economics, justice, racism, and human rights. Students may eat for free.
Reservation is requested two days before the scheduled event.
The student run office of CASJ, serves as a resource for AU students working for responsible social change. While the group is not affiliated with a particular faith, CASJ recognizes that a call to compassionate community action often is rooted in religious and spiritual values. The CASJ is part of the Spiritual Kay Center and has its offices located here. Check out the 2000 Human Rights Lecture Series. While the Kay Center is home to a rich array of activities and programs, it is primarily a sacred space, designated specifically for religious life.
