Comfort Galore

On Monday evening, November 14th, former IPS research professor Brett Hoover, addressed a gathering of friends and colleagues as he discussed his latest book, Comfort – An Atlas for the Body and Soul. Brett helped his audience explore the nuances that surround the word “comfort.” Through engaging stories and thoughtful considerations, Brett offered those present insights and reflections on our need for comfort. I left the presentation reflecting not only on my need for comfort but with new insights on how I can offer comfort to others. All there that night agreed, our time spent with Brett was quite “comfortable” indeed.

Advent Retreat Day

As the days shorten and the nights lengthen, we enter into this season of watching, waiting, and expectant longing. Pushing past the voices of discouragement, we listen intently for that still, small voice of God. Through story, poetry, prayer, evocative images and reflective music, these two gifted preachers of the Word will guide us in a day of spiritual practice – seeing through the darkness into the light of hope.

Retreat directors: Fr. John Cusick, director of the Office of Young Adult Ministry for the Archdiocese of Chicago and Fr. Michael Sparough, S.J., the founder of Charis Ministries and a retreat director at the Bellarmine Jesuit Retreat House.

The retreat will be on Saturday, December 3, 2011, from 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM in Regents Hall, 16th floor of Lewis Towers. For fee information and registration see: http://alumni.luc.edu/site/Calendar?id=109724&view=Detail Check-In will begin at 9:00 Event will be held Lunch will be on your own.

Leverage your skills to protect children’s rights

The Center for the Human Rights of Children will host the daylong symposium, “Protecting Children’s Rights Through Multidisciplinary Forensics” this Friday, and the Loyola community is invited to attend. The program seeks to build the capacity of professionals across many disciplines to provide forensic evaluations, professional assessments, written affidavits, subject matter expertise, and expert testimony to advance and protect the human rights of children. Presentations and workshops throughout the day will address how experts in various disciplines can contribute their knowledge and skills to protect children’s rights, and provide the tools necessary to do so.

The following types of cases will be emphasized throughout the day: asylum, child abuse/neglect, human trafficking, unaccompanied minor, special education, high conflict custody cases, and juvenile justice.

The program will be held on November 4, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., in the Corboy Law Center. As mentioned above, all professionals, scholars, faculty, staff, and students with an interest in children’s rights issues are welcome to attend. Case studies will incorporate the following disciplines: medicine (including nursing and psychiatry), public health, mental health, education, law, social work, history, social justice, anthropology, political science, criminal justice, and specialized study in developing countries/regions. CLEs, CEUs, CNEs, and CPDUs are offered and limited scholarships are available.

Registration is required, as space is limited. Free admission will be provided to Loyola faculty, staff, and students. For more information, and to register, go to http://www.luc.edu/chrc/Forensics_Workshop.shtml
