Inside this Report
P RES IDENT URIAH KIM:
Brave the Way and Others will Join Many of the world’s religious teachings center around acts of bravery. Across myriad traditions, sacred texts regale us with stories of visionaries who bravely leave the safety and familiarity of their homes and communities to face new challenges, experience eyeopening discoveries, and blaze new trails for others to follow. For more than 60 years, the GTU has carried on those brave traditions venturing into unknown territory to bring forth new, fruitful opportunities for growth—intellectually, spiritually, and through practical action. At the GTU, supporters like you are the ones who drive our courage and desire to take brave risks. The invested GTU community empowers us in undertaking the groundbreaking conversations and innovative initiatives that are occurring in the classroom, at our flagship campus on Holy Hill, and out in the wider world. This impact report highlights some of the many ways that the GTU is venturing into new and unexplored territory, such as: • Transforming our physical spaces to meet the needs of today’s scholars by reimagining our beloved Hewlett Building to optimally serve students and community members • Training the next generation of scholar-leaders, as evidenced by the paradigm-shifting work of our Presidential Scholars, our 2023 Haas Student Grant Recipients, our Interreligious Chaplaincy Program Fellows, and the work of our alums • Committing to investing in bold, innovative endeavors by continuing to grow our rapidly expanding GTUx platform, forging meaningful partnerships with the United Nations Environment Programme’s Faith for Earth Coalition and many others, and offering virtual and onsite forums featuring scholars and luminaries from a wide array of backgrounds, disciplines, and institutions The outcome of all this courageous work is a foundation from which the GTU can continue taking necessary risks in a rapidly changing world with ever-changing religious and spiritual needs. Without supporters like you none of this would happen—infrastructurally, academically, or financially. For your partnership in these brave endeavors, we thank you, and we share these stories of the groundbreaking work made possible through your support.

Creating Spaces for the Needs of Future Scholars SINCE ITS INCEPTION by renowned architect Louis I. Kahn in 1972, the Hewlett Library Building has served as the heart of the GTU, symbolically, intellectually, and physically. The building and its services are central to preparing GTU students to create a transformative impact felt around the world by creating a space in which brave conversations can take place. Thanks to the support of the GTU community, the Hewlett Building has been reimagined as GTU’s centralized hub of creativity, collaboration, and learning, newly transformed to meet the needs of today’s students and operations, while remaining true to Louis Kahn’s original vision for the building.

MEET TH E GTU 2 02 3 ALUM O F TH E Y EA R : CARMEN LA NSDOW NE The Right Rev. Dr. Carmen Lansdowne (PhD, 2016) has been selected as GTU’s 2023 Alum of the Year. At the GTU, Rev. Dr. Lansdowne’s scholarly work centered on indigenous epistemologies, delving into Christian missiology. Born in Alert Bay, British Columbia, and a proud member of the Heiltsuk First Nation, Dr. Lansdowne’s journey in theological scholarship has been imbued with a deep commitment to an Indigenous way of being in the world. She recently made history as the United Church of Canada’s 44th Moderator, becoming the first Indigenous woman to hold this position. READ
more about Rev. Dr. Lansdowne’s work, and the GTU’s lasting influence on her career here.
I feel very humbled to be recognized by the GTU in this way. I think my global ecumenical experience and even the experience of having lived, studied, and worked in multiple contexts throughout the US and Canada have all impacted me and guided me to where I am today. I am and will always be concerned with social justice issues. For the past 5 years or so, my work has been around housing justice, including writing on liberation theology, the housing affordability crisis, and releasing my dissertation in book form in the fall of 2024 with Canadian Mennonite University Press. – R E V.

During his time at the GTU, Dr. Zangeneh-Lester’s research focused on what this interfaith movement, borne out of community college campuses might look like, culminating in his dissertation entitled, “Strength Overlooked: Toward Anti-Hegemonic Pluralism and a Community College Interfaith Movement.” Dr. Zangeneh-Lester’s work for the last 14 years has focused on teaching community college students—the most diverse higher education institutions in California—educating them about American religious diversity and providing them with opportunities for constructive civic engagement. Currently, he is Professor and Chair of the Department of Humanities and Religious Studies, at American River College (ARC), where he has worked for eight years. READ
My hope is that this movement bridges community college campuses and the diverse communities they serve by creating new opportunities for civic engagement that work toward a more inclusive, more informed, and more just society. If that vision sounds familiar to you, it is because I encountered it at the GTU. –DR. BILL ZANGENEH-LESTER

This program offers students access to the resources of the GTU without relocating to the San Francisco Bay Area.

Introduced in March 2022, GTUx extends GTU’s campus and furthers its mission by serving as a locus of dynamic and digital interreligious learning.
