GTU MILESTONES: A VISION FOR FUTURE IMPACT
As you make your way through this report, we invite you to take a journey through time and experience highlights from the GTU’s first 60 years of impact. You can continue your exploration of the GTU’s history since its founding in 1962 on the dedicated anniversary microsite at gtu.edu/60years.
Founding member schools include Church Divinity School of the Pacific, Pacific Lutheran Theological Seminary, Berkeley Baptist Divinity School (now Berkeley School of Theology) and San Francisco Theological Seminary.
Coordination of library services established.
Three new member shools join the GTU cosortium: Pacific School of Religion, Starr King School for the Ministry (then Thomas Starr King School for Religious Leadership) and the consortium’s first Catholic institution, the Dominican School of Philosophy and Theology (then College of St. Albert the Great.)
President Uriah Kim Reflects on 60 Years of the GTU— and the Next 60
The genesis of the GTU is a story that sometimes seems just as unlikely as the genesis of the world, as told in the Five Books of Moses. From little more than the spark of an idea, the GTU was born 60 years ago. The GTU’s founders had a vision to improve the world through ecumenical and interreligious dialogue. This vision exceeded their social, religious, and political circumstances, as well as their resources. But their bold steps toward establishing a center of learning anchored by ecumenical, interreligious, and interdisciplinary collaboration has now touched lives on a global scale.
Today, we are beneficiaries of our founders’ prophetic vision and courageous pursuits. As inheritors, we have a responsibility to those who came before us, those whose lives we can affect today, and those who will inherit the world from us. To realize our commitment and carry our vision forward, our work is built on several critical areas of impact. Under the umbrella of GTU 2.0, our 5-Year Strategic Vision, and detailed in this report, these areas include:
• Advancing knowledge, wisdom, and justice through rigorous scholarship;
• Integrating Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion-informed practices into the fabric of our institution;
• Expanding our reach by increasing education access through GTUx, our newly launched digital learning platform; and
• Redrawing our campus footprint, optimizing our infrastructure to best serve our students, staff, faculty, and broader community.
Most importantly, we are supporting the next generation of leaders, scholars, and prophets, equipping them with the educational and spiritual tools they need to create positive, lasting change in their communities, and striving to offer competitive scholarships to fund their academic endeavors.
Neither our founders’ vision nor our present efforts are possible through sheer dedication alone. Such transformative work requires a supportive community invested in partnering with us to make the vision of a more just, compassionate, and sustainable world a reality today and to carry this work forward for generations to come. For that partnership, we thank you, and we share these stories of the impact made possible through your support.

Building Upon a Vision f or a Better World
The GTU was founded in 1962 based on a radical vision of what a model of collaboration through embracing differences—rather than being divided by them—could achieve. Since that time, the GTU has been at the forefront of advancing theological engagement with the critical issues of our time, such as social justice and climate justice. Building a future vision of the world we want to see begins with steps we take today: shaping a more just, compassionate, and sustainable world for all.
BOLDLY STRIVING FOR SOCIAL JUSTICE
The GTU has been committed to addressing injustice in all forms since its inception. Today, our faculty, students, and alums are working to correct racial injustice in a variety of ways, contributing to a future of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.
Dr. Valerie Miles-Tribble speaks on “Toward Justice,” a project shaped by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s dream of the beloved community, in collaboration with PhD student, Aaron Grizzel, in the 60th Anniversary documentary, Together WATCH Dr. Miles-Tribble and Aaron Grizzel discuss “Toward Justice.”
In her Stories of Transformative Impact interview, GTU Alum Dr. I Sil Yoon, Assistant Professor of Christian Ethics at Yonsei University in South Korea, talks about her work on behalf of North Korean refugees. “I really want to work for the human rights protections of socially marginalized people, and work for people from various backgrounds, and GTU is supporting that. That really grabbed my attention to attend GTU, to study and do ministry.”
Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny.
Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly.
–REV. DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR.

One of the things I learned early at the GTU is not to be afraid to be the only person in the room who holds a position that might be unpopular...being early and alone is not always a bad thing when the issues at hand are crucial to global justice.
The GTU’s dedication to a more sustainable world includes combating the climate crisis felt across the globe. Explore some of the groundbreaking work in this area from our faculty and students, such as:

For 60 years, the GTU has been engaged in ecumenical and interreligious dialogue, bridging the divides between our world’s wisdom traditions from the hills of North Berkeley. Now more than ever, that dialogue is necessary for the survival and flourishing of future generations.
One way the GTU is leading the work of interreligious dialogue today is through the Madrasa-Midrasha Program. Founded in 2008, the Madrasa-Midrasha Program explores the richness, diversity, differences, and commonalities of the Jewish and Islamic traditions.
A collaborative effort between the GTU’s Richard S. Dinner Center for Jewish Studies and its Center for Islamic Studies, the Madrasa-Midrasha Program offers cross-cultural academic courses to GTU students, and workshops, lectures, and panel discussions to the public.

FLEXIBLE EDUCATION OFFERINGS: CERTIFICATE PROGRAMS
To equip tomorrow’s leaders for meaningful impact in their communities, the GTU offers a variety of certificate programs designed specifically for today’s students’ needs.
CARING ACROSS DIFFERENCES: CERTIFICATE IN INTERRELIGIOUS CHAPLAINCY
The first of its kind, the GTU’s Interreligious Chaplaincy Program (ICP) equips leaders to practice spiritual care for and with diverse populations, with emphasis on underrepresented communities among institutional chaplains. Read more about our 2021-2022 Fellows on page 8. LEARN about the ICP Certificate Program.
I chose GTU’s [ICP] program as it will give me a horizontal perspective of chaplaincy across different religions. I found the interaction with GTU personnel friendly and inviting and the fact that the program is all online and I can get education with some minor adjustments in my day job really helped me make the decision to join GTU.

Investing in Transformative Impact
I give on an annual basis to the GTU and I do so for a couple of reasons. First, I do so out of gratitude . . . I believe in what the GTU is about and the effort to address the problems we face across multiple religions. Anyone who is interested in or who appreciates the power of religion to move people and realizes that we need to move people not just in one religion but in multiple religions in a global context would find the GTU to be a great place to invest their resources.
ICP Fellows in 2021–2022
“I was very pleased to find the Interreligious Chaplaincy Program. As a cultural Jew and person of faith I can both learn about many religious traditions and develop skills as a chaplain. Being a chaplain will allow me to bring together my desire to serve others and my community, and to be a conduit for others who are suffering to find a path to healing and find meaning in their struggles through their religious and spiritual beliefs.

THE GTU AND ITS SUPPORTERS REIMAGINE HEWLETT BUILDING
Today’s rapidly changing educational landscape demands innovative educational tools, programs, and offerings. From its inception, the GTU’s Library has been driven by its commitment to equipping innovative scholars for groundbreaking interreligious and interdisciplinary study. That commitment to innovation remains true today, as the GTU’s Flora Lamson Hewlett Library boldly responds to the demands of twenty-first century scholarship.
In 2021, extensive alterations on the Flora Lamson Hewlett Library work began to ensure GTU students, staff, and faculty are well supported in their work of building a brighter future. These alterations will include:
• Transforming digital collections: improving access to resources to support online education.
• Transforming infrastructure: to support hybrid services. The Hewlett Library will maintain traditional library services, while advancing cutting-edge resources, technologies, and services.
• Transforming campus footprint: the Hewlett Library alterations will bring the GTU community together under one roof, increasing opportunities for dialogue and collaboration.
Truly groundbreaking programs can’t happen without supporters. We need people who believe in the possibility of the truly beautiful world to contribute to that world . . . Putting our funds and our effort and our love into an institution like the GTU is really to work on justice, to work on equality, to work on a peaceful world. Because every leader that comes out of there will continue to make that a possibility.
