Spiritual formation is a lifelong process of integrating head, heart, and hands in distinct contexts and multiple life stages. The Iliff master’s degree curriculum plays a significant role in that process as students examine their faith and life assumptions and conclusions more carefully. While this often is not comfortable, it contributes to a student's own spiritual depth and leadership capacity. The Dean of the Chapel welcomes conversation about any student's experience of this significant integrative process.

Students are encouraged to prioritize regular or daily participation in personal practices that integrate head, heart, and hands. These might include a variety of prayer practices, movement or exercise, and direct service to others. Such practices significantly assist students in negotiating the stresses created by adding a degree program to their already complicated lives.

Students, staff, and faculty also find group practices to be helpful in spiritual formation. Iliff offers two weekly community gatherings on campus whose underlying purpose is spiritual formation:

● Wednesday Community Chapel, 11:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. every week during Fall, Winter, and Spring quarters. This time is an expression of Iliff’s diversity and of its nature as a school. It includes academic convocations such as Fall Opening and year-end Honors Convocation. Community Chapel also includes multiple occasions led by Iliff faculty, staff, and students, which introduces others to the particular traditions and values of that week’s leadership team. Hence, every week is different in theme, style, and content. Community Chapel is coordinated by the Dean of the Chapel.

● Thursday Christian God-encounter, 12:05 p.m. - 12:50 p.m. every week during Fall, Winter, and Spring quarters. This time is an expression of Christian identities, shaped by a consistent inspirational

organization and regularly including open table communion. Preachers are primarily students. Coordinated by the Dean of the Chapel.

Other expressions of spiritual practice may be organized by students and are coordinated and publicized by the Dean of the Chapel's office. These have included prayer groups, retreats, field trips to visit special exhibits or congregations, service activities, prayer walking outdoors or on a labyrinth, and yoga.

CAMPUS SAFETY

Iliff has always been concerned with the safety of students, employees, visitors, and their physical possessions on campus. Over the years, Iliff has responded to changes in the social environment and attitudes toward crime by improving security, increasing the presence of officers of DU's Campus Safety Department, and increasing the crime awareness of Iliff community members and suggesting what they can do to avoid becoming a victim. All crimes and emergencies should be reported to the Department of Campus Safety at the University of Denver (DU Campus Safety) by calling 303-871-3000. The Denver Police Department can also be contacted by calling 911 to report crimes in progress or other emergencies. DU Campus Safety provides law enforcement and security services on the Iliff Campus and contacts the Denver Police Department when appropriate. During the first month of the fall quarter, Iliff makes crime-prevention literature available in the Iliff Hall lobby. The literature is produced with the assistance of the DU Campus Safety and focuses on safety on a college campus. All visitors to Iliff must sign in at the front desk and receive a visitor’s badge while they are on campus. Visitors should sign out and return their badges when leaving the campus.

Everyone in the Iliff community will automatically receive an email for emergency alerts. These email alerts will be sent when Iliff and/or DU has an emergency situation. There is no sign up required for email alerts. However, there is a sign-up in order to receive SMS Text and Voice Call alerts. As a way of enhancing communications at Iliff and ensuring our collective safety, students are encouraged to sign up for e2Campus SMS Text and Voice Call alerts: https://iliff.bloomfire.com/posts/918273-general-emergency-text-alerts- e2campus.

In accordance with The Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act, the Iliff Annual Security Report is available at: http://www.iliff.edu/learn/the-iliff-experience/security-and-fire- report.
