Meeting the Moment is a program launched in fall of 2020 designed to inspire and resource Stanford students to thrive and derive meaning during a time period fraught with political, societal, economic, and spiritual upheaval. The program is hosted by the Office for Religious and Spiritual Life (ORSL), in collaboration with Stanford Living Education (SLED) and the Stanford Storytelling Project.
