Unleashing the Reconcilers Imagination

The Remerge Institute is an inter-disciplinary institute uniquely positioned within the inventive community-building nonprofit, Remerge.

The Institute integrates the academic resources of the university with the innovative practices of place-based community building organizations allowing students, from the first day of class, to be immersed in real-world projects, gaining the understanding and skills needed to drive meaningful change in the places they serve.

Our Learner's Stories

“It was an eye-opening opportunity to engage with real-world problems and explore meaningful solutions tangibly. I am truly grateful for the introduction to this transformative work. Since my return, I have shared the impactful work of REMERGE with several of my pastoral colleagues. They were eager to hear about your ministry’s focus on helping Christian institutions address critical issues through the lens of reconciliation and fostering communities of peace. Thank you once again for this transformative experience.”

“It's a great learning experience and really challenged me to do things differently. It is really good”

Colleen Stevenson

“My 40+ year professional career included several roles including strategic planning, market research, operational planning, business development, and running various business ventures. The course is in line with best practices I acquired during my career. More importantly, it brings focus on determining your "why" before you begin to plan. For anyone working in a leadership role with a nonprofit, this course provides a practical set of tools to be more effective.”
