"...religion is a huge part of learning about the diversity in our

religions address are important questions for students and people in
general." —Jocelyn Beh, PRSE alumna
"As a political scientist, witnessing the 2004 election and the aftermath of September 11,
it's amazing to see how damaged the public square is when it comes to religion, and how polarized it is. All the talk right now focuses on these very stringent and uninformed comments about religion and I think
it's very damaging to religion, to politics, to the country, and to the
world." —Sam Potolicchio, PRSE alumnus
"Religion is not beside the point of literature,
it's the crucial point of literature: What is behind that symbol and what does it mean? Recognizing a
symbol's religious significance opens the door to literary insight."
—Karen Russell, mentor teacher
"The greatest assets of the PRSE are the exceptional students that it
continues to attract year after year. It is an ongoing privilege to work with
