Monday, November 3 | 5 pm | Princeton Public Library We welcome guests to join us for refreshments beginning at 4:30 pm. Books will be available for sale from Labyrinth Books.
This public conversation will bring together Dr. Lisa Miller and Dr. Howard Koh for a dialogue moderated by President Jonathan Lee Walton. Together, they will explore how faith and spirituality shape health, resilience, and well-being across generations.
Drawing from neuroscience, public health, and theological reflection, the panel will consider how faith can serve as a vital resource for healing and flourishing, particularly for young people and communities.
Open to students, faculty, and members of the wider Princeton community, this public gathering will model how scholarship and faith-based leadership can intersect to advance a holistic and interdisciplinary approach to human flourishing, in service of the common good.
This event is free and open to the public. However, space is limited, and we kindly ask guests to RSVP.
