The purpose of the Center for Spirituality and the Mind is to develop, organize, and coordinate research, scholarship, education, and dialogue, both locally and globally, that focuses on the relationship between spirituality and the brain.

This Center will fill a major gap that was specifically identified by University President Amy Gutmann by establishing a University wide interdisciplinary program on a topic with deep relevance to society, health, and academia. This Center, through its primary functions will seek to increase access both academically and publicly of a very relevant topic in the United States and throughout the world. By establishing courses, teaching materials, public and academic lecture programs, and local and internet outreach programs, the dialogue regarding the relationship between the mind and spirituality will be available for all individuals interested in this issue. This Center will have a primary focus of expanding knowledge by creating an interdisciplinary group of faculty throughout all of the schools of the University.
