This page is dedicated to resources STRSSA provides graudate students in addition to conference and event funding, which has its own page here.
The below are ways STRSSA strives to fulfill its mission to help graduate students succeed both academically and personally. We want to foster community and professional development for the entire student body.
Conferences Spreadsheet
STRSSA maintains a running spreadsheet of conferences which students may be interested in attending or submitting papers to. The sheet may be viewed and downloaded here. If there is a conference you know of that is not present in this list, or have additional details not present on the sheet, please contact STRSSA Comms Officer Maria Benitz (benitz@cua.edu) to add that to the list!
Scriptorium
Once a week, STRSSA hosts Scriptorium, an all-day opportunity for students to work quietly on writing together, with breaks for community engagement. Some sessions of Scriptorium are dedicated to students who wish to present a paper to their peers for feedback. If you have any questions related to Scriptorium, please contact your STRSSA Quartermaster.
Student Lounge
The School of Theology and Religious Studies has designated Caldwell 125 as a graduate student lounge. This space is located below the Caldwell Chapel in the center of Caldwell Hall. All TRS graduate students are welcomed to make use of this space for studying, eating, and community.
Resources available to students in this space include:
- Refrigerator
- Microwave
- Keurig Coffee Maker (coffee grounds provided)
- Water boiler (tea bags provided)
- Tables and seating for studying and eating
- STRSSA Reference Library
- Quiet study room
- Office spaces for Teaching Fellows
Because the Dissertation Room is located next to this space, during defenses and meetings it is greatly appreciated if the noise level is kept to a minimum. Thank you for your consideration of your fellow students.
Job Announcements
STRSSA periodically announces via email job opportunities relevant to theology. These include both side jobs and full-time positions. If you know of a job opportunity to share, please email trs-strssa@cua.edu.
