Voices
The purpose: To promote reflection on campus and to promote conversation about our beliefs; that is, to create an environment in which people can converse about what they believe, across diverse beliefs.

The project: Gather a group of “statements of belief” from faculty, staff, and students. These belief statements may be:
• Performances
• Works of art or music
• Video expressions
• 350 word essays
• Belief statements in other media…surprise us!

The VOICES Project and Student Life are joint sponsors. We will produce a video end product: a sampling of SLU beliefs. The culminating event will be the capstone of the Week of Reflection, April 25, 2008. Of course, we will air our DVD on SLU TV!

We are seeking submissions of a particular type:
• Directly connected to an individual’s personal experience
• Not a political or religious creed composed by another
• Preferably deep, reflective
• Possibly humorous
• Not too long or short
• Necessarily positive statements, rather than statements of what I do not believe

Great prizes!!

$1000** each for winning faculty, staff and students!
$1000 in tuition or books for students
$1000 in Professional Travel for faculty members
$1000 cash for staff
