Cardus is looking for 8 unusual people who are allergic to the status quo. People who just might make a dent in the universe if given the right conditions to launch their project into the world. We believe that the discipline of stewardship requires us to strategically invest in emerging risk-takers for cultural renewal. From September to April, we'll provide structured space for eight outstanding

candidates to act on their ideas and dreams. Cardus U integrates three primary elements: a project that addresses a persistent problem, challenge or question that you experience considerable angst over, workshops with access to major players and Life Together reflection with an uncommonly exceptional group of colleagues.

New program director Peter O'Donnell has written an article that encapsulates some of his vision for Cardus*U this year:

In a generation inclined to shrink away from leadership, can change and innovation take place? How can we help Millennials become the kind of authentic leaders that not only achieve results, but also build up others to multiply their influence?

It's the first day at headquarters without our inaugural cohort, and the place feels empty without them! Thanks to Rhys, Brad, Janice, Caleb, and Matthew for a wonderful eight months, and also for this tasty "carat cake" they made for us on their last day here.

This year, Janice has been chasing the question, "What good is art making?" Last week, it led her to facilitate an evening workshop of collaborative art-making around an exploration of faith.
Guests were guided through a series of questions and encouraged to use image and word to work through the ideas of what it means to be human and what faith has to do with it. Sharing art, food, and ideas about faith is messy. It is also very good.

When there's hard work to be done, why not make it a competition?

Who do you know who is allergic to the status quo and has the potential to "make a dent in the universe"?

It is that time of year again at Cardus - we want to talk to the people you know who have passion, but have not yet been recognized for their potential to make a unique contribution.

Fire us a message. We would love to connect with them!
