Required 1-Credit Course

Name: The Reflective Professional: Journeying Toward Mission-Driven Leadership (LSHV 480) (1- credit course)
Faculty: Peter J. Kralovec
Semester: Fall 2022
Cost: $984
Students: Visiting Non-degree
Modality: Online Synchronous
Schedule: 3 Saturdays (4 hours) during the course of a semester

Course Description:
Action and contemplation might seem like polar opposites in a world that prioritizes constant activity and motion. But at Georgetown, and schools like it around the world animated by the Jesuit tradition of education, the commitment to social justice is rooted in the value of “Contemplation in Action.” This course will explore reflection as both theory and practice and relates it to a life of activity for justice and the common good. In the same way that Georgetown fosters its mission and values in an inclusive and invitational way that honors community in diversity, this seminar space welcomes students identifying with a diversity of religious and spiritual traditions (or none at all).
