The annual CSJ Center Symposium is a signature activity of the year and highlights the work of the LMU community and stakeholders on topics of justice.
The symposium sets the stage for all interested in listening, discovering and responding, as we continue our journey towards transformation within ourselves and as part of our commitment to our community. In a time filled with much divide, our desire that "all may be one" becomes an ever more essential message and mission of the CSJ Center.
