Mary Lou Klassen
Adjunct Faculty
I received my Master of Theological Studies from Conrad Grebel University College/University of Waterloo, and my BA in Religious Studies, with an option in Peace and Conflict Studies, from the University of Waterloo. In addition to academic training, for 16 years I worked in development and peacebuilding in three different African countries.

My research interests are in peacebuilding and the spirituality of student experience.
