Open only to senior students in the FPJ Program.. This course provides the finishing touch for students in the program for the Study of Faith, Peace, and Justice.

Students and faculty responses to the presentation will help shape the presenter's project into a finished form. The seminar provides a unique opportunity for the individual student to integrate several years of study in the Program while at the same time learning about an interesting range of issues from fellow students.
