About the Sister Rose Thering Fund
The SRTF began as a supporting wing of the Graduate Department of Jewish-Christian
Studies, which is currently a graduate program in the Department of Religion. Our
mission is to advance Sister Rose's legacy by fostering understanding and cooperation
among Jews, Christians and people of other religious traditions through advocacy and
education. Sister Rose Thering served as administrator, recruiting educators and raising
funds to defray tuition costs, until her retirement in 2005.
