A new season, a new semester 🍂

We welcomed new and returning students to Iliff’s campus for Gathering Days! Students came together to share meals, attend events, make new connections, and learn together.

Held once each semester, this special tradition brings our hybrid and remote students together for connection, collaboration, and community. 🍂

Can we work together to build a better country if we don’t share the same religious values?

In this short documentary hosted by The Greater Good Science Center's series, "Connecting on Campus," graduate students at Iliff School of Theology show us how to use curiosity and patience to find a path forward even when we disagree.

Watch the episode in which a group of theology students share the values that matter most to them, discover their disagreements, and engage in a deep conversation that takes a surprising turn.
