DSPT is looking for a student to coordinate the lunches on Tuesdays. The student would be responsible for planning and preparing the lunches, including set-up and clean-up. This position would be approximately 5 hours/week, with the possibility for additional hours for assisting with other DSPT events. This is a great opportunity, a fun way to earn some extra money, plus – you get free food! A detailed job description and application are available from Elissa at the front desk. Applications are due as soon as possible! If you have any questions, please email them to Elissa at emccormack@dspt.edu.

Emmaus Road Initiative Session: “What is Happening in History? – History and Hope”
Time: 7:00 p.m.
Location: DSPT Classroom 1
What is history? When does history begin? We live in a time of extraordinary material improvements – however unequally enjoyed and fraught with unanticipated consequences. Nonetheless, someone as astute as Henri de Lubac can assert that we live in a time of “deliberate barbarism” precisely to the degree that we are guilty of the “deliberate refusal of history.” In this session of E.R.I. we will accept the challenge implicit in de Lubac’s critique and reflect on the nature and meaning of human history. The Emmaus Road Initiative presentations are made by Gil Bailie, an author, lecturer, and the founder and president of the Cornerstone Forum. Visit http://www.test-cornerstone.org/VENUES/Berkeley-Dominican-School.html for information on the Emmaus Road Initiative.
