The Camino offered a chance for twelve students to be with themselves and others as they walked the roughly 500-miles from St. Jean Pied-du-Port, France to Santiago de Compostela, Spain along the medieval pilgrimage route of the Camino Frances.

For over forty days students walked 30,000+ steps a day, ate, rested, and were with their thoughts as they moved from town to town alongside people from around the world on a similar journey. Join professors and students as they talk about the course and their pilgrimage.

Jay Friedlander and Ursula Hanson were two of the COA faculty who designed and led The Camino Course. Jay Friedlander is the Sharpe-McNally Chair of Green and Socially Responsible Business at COA. Ursula Hanson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, with a private practice and offers mindfulness programming in schools and the community.
