conference overview The work of a financial aid administrator seems constantly to be in a state of flux, and even the basic nature of how each of our institutions carry out their mission seems in question these days. To help you navigate the ever-changing face of higher education, we are pleased to announce that we are again able to offer the CCCU Financial Aid Conference the same week as the 2012 Federal Student Aid conference. The fall 2011 CCCU financial aid conference, held in Las Vegas in conjunction with the FSA conference, resulted in the largest recorded attendance and perhaps was also one of our most successful CCCU financial aid conferences ever. Attendees particularly enjoyed the convenience and cost savings of making one trip to attend the largest professional financial aid conference of the year, while being able to flavor that experience with the distinctive taste of meeting with CCCU colleagues for our conference later in the week. Many attendees commented on how great it was to be able to end the week among friends in the CCCU. The fall 2012 FSA conference will be held from Tuesday, November 27 to Friday, November 30 at The Peabody Orlando, and our CCCU conference will be held at the Rosen Plaza, which is directly across the street from The Peabody Orlando. CCCU financial aid conference attendees can stay the entire week at the Rosen Plaza and need only walk across the street to get to the FSA conference. We heard your comments from last year and we are excited to offer a Monday night CCCU â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;meet and greetâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; event, along with other opportunities for CCCU folks to network during FSA. So, plan to attend, and bring your many faces, but end your week of intense financial aid learning by taking off the mask and sorting it all out with your CCCU colleagues.

conference overview Purposely Engaged: Addressing Critical Concerns for a Changing Future Enrollment professionals face many challenging issues in these changing times. The Chief Enrollment Officers Conference will motivate, challenge, and inspire us as we meet to explore these issues together in Phoenix, Arizona in January. This conference is unique among others! Benefits include:

· Fellowship and collaboration with like-minded colleagues

· Intimate, interactive program

· Increased focus on peer presentations

The following topics—chosen based on feedback—are designed to stimulate and enlighten:

· Pricing, financial aid and the future affordability of higher education

· CRM adoption and implementation

· The Chief Enrollment Officer as a key campus leader

· Re-igniting passion for our role and mission

· Online marketing, electronic communication, and social media

· Strategies for adult recruitment and marketing

· Establishing recruiting partnerships across campus

A primary goal for this year’s conference is to examine topics—both in breakout and plenary sessions—that are most important to senior enrollment professionals. Participants will leave with a renewed sense of professional vision and practical ideas to implement on their campuses. With Christ at the center, we’ll learn, fellowship, and worship together and return home empowered to fulfill our critical campus roles. purposefully engaged | 9

conference overview Fast-Forward In Faith: Celebrating & Carrying The Cause Of Christian Higher Education: The 2013 CCCU Presidents Conference launches a new and exciting era for the Council for Christian Colleges & Universities as it carries the cause of Christian higher education nationally and globally into a fascinating future. The Conference starts strong with the CCCU Board’s public installation of new CCCU President Edward O. Blews, Jr., his inaugural address sharing his heart and setting forth his vision, and a special “Town Hall” to fully acquaint him with the CCCU college and university presidents and them with him as together they go forward in faith. Then through a series of powerful and dynamic speakers and presidentially participatory sessions, the Presidents Conference will joyfully celebrate Christian higher education, proactively address the challenges and embrace the opportunities for Christ-centered colleges and universities, and accelerate this great and glorious Kingdom cause as we fast-forward into the future. The themes center on the future and vision for the CCCU; critical public policy issues confronting Christian higher education; proactive advocacy strategies at the campus and CCCU levels; and national and global academic, economic, and faith-integrating imperatives for now and the future. An inspirational yet pragmatic agenda places a premium on presidential participation and interaction centered on grand themes and specific issues. Woven throughout will be the invaluable opportunity for fellowship and networking among Christ-centered college and university presidents – an experience that none will want to miss.

conference overview Re-thinking Advancement from the Ground Up: Why, How, and How Come? Fundraising for an organization or ministry is not merely an important task, it’s a noble one. Successful leaders must possess the theological vision to recognize the necessity of asking, the joy of giving, and the beautifully collaborative nature of advancing the kingdom. It should come as no surprise that the literal translation of the word philanthropy is “love of mankind” - and Christian philanthropy enables us to love God through loving mankind. In the past this conference has been geared to Chief Institutional Advancement Officers - but this year we are encouraging Advancement teams to attend. Please join us as we engage in a highly interactive seminar with case studies which will be philosophical and inspirational as well as full of practical applications. Advancement professionals must carefully weigh the cost/benefit of every training opportunity. Throughout the conference there will be ample opportunity to dialog with our speakers and your colleagues, including designated time for CIAOs and other peer groupings. Included in the registration prices is a copy of Giving & Getting in the Kingdom: A Field Guide by Wheaton College VP and featured presenter: Mark Dillon, Ph.D. Mark Dillon has led Christian higher education fund raising efforts for over 20 years. He will lead us in three sessions:

• Why Advancement - No, Really, Why? - the vocational calling of the development professional and our ultimate purpose

• Foundational Assumptions of the Advancement Task, - how do mission, donor wealth, strategy, university-wide collaboration, and the discipline of asking well determine our success?

• Hard Topics - campaigns, beyond campaigns, endowments, alumni relations (friend, foe, or partner?)

This year, Langley Innovations is sponsoring the conference, and popular presenter from the 2011 and 2012 conferences will host the Thursday lunch and speak on Breaking Down the Walls in Advancement. Jim Langley has broad professional experience and delivers seasoned counsel in the invigorating context of like-minded colleagues. purposefully engaged | 13

conference overview Christian Smith’s research on adolescent faith (Soul Searching:The Religious and Spiritual Lives of American Teens ) has done more recently to shape how we understand the spirituality of many of the traditional-aged students who arrive on our campuses than any other current body of research. He introduced us to the concept of moralistic therapeutic deism as a way of understanding how many in this generation process their faith. Published in 2011, Smith’s Lost in Transition looks at the next time frame (ages 18-23) of faith development. Smith identified five particular areas of challenge for these young adults that those of us in student affairs will readily recognize: confused moral reasoning, routine intoxication, materialistic life goals, regrettable sexual experiences, and disengagement from civic and political life. This conference will provide us with an opportunity to interact with Christian Smith, and with our colleagues in academic senior leadership, about the implications of Smith’s research. Together we will explore ways that changes in programming, pedagogy, and curriculum can do a better job grounding students in their faith and getting them through this difficult period of transition.

conference overview In the Spring of 2013, the CAO conference will be held in collaborations with the Senior Student Development Officers conference in Phoenix, Arizona.

conference overview The Spiritual Lives of Emerging Adults and Those Who Care for Them The cultural landscape of today’s emerging adults is shifting in ways that challenge those of us who seek to help them grow spiritually. Moreover, changing institutional dynamics can make it difficult for campus ministers to adequately attend to the shape of their own souls. The CCCU and its Commission on Campus Ministry invites those working in campus ministry positions to gather together at the Billy Graham Training Center at The Cove in Asheville, NC, for three days of conversation on the issues that shape, challenge and inform our work with today’s college students. Our time together will focus on building personal connections and professional relationships as well as sharing insights and support in our common task of helping students grow in their faith. Our schedule will include plenary sessions with a guest speaker, unstructured time for rest and re-connecting with each other, and break-out discussions on practical matters, such as:

Leading worship Building a chapel calendar Facilitating small group and discipleship ministries Coordinating mission and service trips.

conference overview The New Faculty Institute is a collaborative effort between the CCCU leadership and the host institution; as such, we work to maximize the opportunities provided at the host campus. We’ll have content-heavy, interactive sessions on campus and also enjoy the opportunities providing dialogue with CCCU faculty. A concern frequently expressed is the challenge the new faculty member faces in balancing the multiple obligations of his/her new appointment. This is especially true for new professors at a Christian university who are expected to know not only their disciplines, but also how to integrate faith into their teaching, manage classroom behavior, nurture the spiritual life, pursue scholarly activities, and be contributing members of the community of faith. This institute is designed to offer practical insight on these multiple fronts:

•

What is expected of me as a new faculty member?

•

What does faithful pedagogy look like in today’s classroom?

•

This year, the Council is offering three Institutes. Institutes are targeted toward individuals, across the CCCU campuses, who are identified as having administrative leadership potential. The program will feature the latest leadership literature and research, will draw upon case studies and “best practices” from leadership experts and other cabinet-level leaders, and will provide a wonderful opportunity both for networking and for renewal.

Nuclear Weapons and our Globalizing Century:

August 1- 11, 2013 Osaka, kyoto, nagasaki, and hiroshima, japan

A Multidisciplinary Challenge for the Christian Academy important dates Registration Applications Due Participants Notified

January 15, 2013 February 15, 2013

Registration $750.00 registration fee plus travel to a major North American city for departure to Japan. All other airfare, ground transportation, lodging and meals will be covered by a generous grant.

Overview How should Christians contend with the continuing questions surrounding the Nuclear Age in which we live? With the end of the Cold War some twenty-five years ago, some public officials and many private citizens assumed that it would only be a matter of time until nuclear weapons were eliminated as weapons of mass destruction. Today, nuclear proliferation, combined with the tragic effects of the tsunami in Japan in 2011, have raised new questions about the role of nuclear technology in today’s complex world. This ten – day seminar to Japan will explore these and other questions which are so critical to making sense of the world in which we live. Participants will meet and engage public officials, church leaders, educators and other private citizens, and will visit the historic sites of Hiroshima and Nagasaki where the first nuclear weapons were used during WWII, during the respective cities’ annual commemoration events.
