Pastoral Ministries Program Reduces Paper Use

Graduate Program in Pastoral Ministries reduces paper use
As more and more campus departments move towards sustainable operations, it's important to recognize their achievements and share best practices and barriers along the way.
The Graduate Program in Pastoral Ministries recently unveiled their new online application. Besides reducing waste, the Program's initiatives to go paperless also result in reduced printing and mailing costs and improved convenience for students, faculty, and staff.
"The decision to switch to an online application was preceded by numerous efforts among the department to reduce paper use," said Ralph Fullerton, Administrative Assistant for the Program. "For example, most of the Graduate Program's announcements are online. Rather than distribute quarterly mailings, we e-mail students and post updated PDFs of information on the web."
Students are directly benefiting from these changes. Although they might need to check their e-mail more often, students can access up-to-date information posted on the Graduate Program's organized and easily accessible website. PDFs have a major advantage over printed documents because they can be updated as soon as a change is made. Visit the program's Information site.
Congratulations to the staff and faculty in the Graduate Program in Pastoral Ministries for their efforts to reduce waste and further develop a culture of sustainability at SCU.

The End-of-Life Handbook by David B. Feldman and S.Andrew Lasher, Jr.

EndofLifeHandbooknews
"The journey of writing this book began two years ago as we both noticed a need for a book written for families facing the serious illness of a loved one. In short, the families of our patients frequently expressed a desire to understand more fully what their loved ones were going through and how best to help. Medical providers, for their part, often observed that family misunderstandings presented barriers to patients getting the best care possible. It was this set of circumstances that led us to write"...David Feldman, Ph.D. coauthor.
