Description
The DELTA On Purpose Program, administered by the University of Notre Dame's Institute for Ethics and the Common Good, provides substantial subgrants to U.S. colleges and universities to pioneer immersive undergraduate formation experiences. These programs are designed to help students engage deeply with questions of calling, virtue, and purpose, especially in response to the challenges and opportunities posed by artificial intelligence. The DELTA framework—Dignity, Embodiment, Love, Transcendence, and Agency—serves as the guiding vision for these experiences, emphasizing a faith-based approach to human flourishing. Selected institutions will design and implement a week-long formative immersion, integrate DELTA framework elements into their curriculum, and participate in related events and evaluation activities.
