“I’m not religious, I’m spiritual”. What does this mean and why is it relevant to our work in the academy? This workshop will explore the complexity and inevitability of spirituality in higher education. Although institutions of higher education promise the development of the “whole” student, research indicates the spiritual aspect of students’ lives are often ignored or minimized on college campuses. Why is this the case? Utilizing the insights and findings from empirical and theoretical data, this workshop will seek to address these questions. We will also highlight practical tools for engagement and discuss how faculty and staff can support the spiritual development of students through the application of their own spiritual intelligence.
