2010-2011 CCCU Conference & Events Overview Guide by Council for Christian Colleges & Universities

2010 / 2011 | conferences & events renew :: information â&#x20AC;˘ Networks â&#x20AC;˘ fellowship

Greetings from Washington, D.C.! Since the conclusion of the 2010 International Forum on Christian Higher Education, we’ve been preparing for the 2011 conference season—our hope is to provide opportunities that inform, encourage, challenge, and inspire. As all conferences are under the direction of Professional Development & Research, we work with Commission leaders throughout the Council, striving to select relevant themes, compelling presentations, and attractive locations. I’m personally thrilled with the season, and I must acknowledge the leadership of Juliene Moore, Director of Conference Services. Conference participants report that, though they appreciate the engaging content, what they find most beneficial is networking with Christian peers, those who understand the unique opportunities and challenges facing Christian higher education—they find encouragement in their work and lifetime connections with others who share a passion for our distinctive mission. Whether your conference is meeting in New Orleans, New York City, Washington, Portland, St. Paul, Houston, Marco Island, Ponte Vedra, or Shawnee, it will provide opportunities to expand your networking, and enhance your leadership, so that you may return to your campus with new energy and vision. Please mark the dates on your calendar and encourage campus colleagues to attend their CCCU peer conference. Cordially,

Mimi Barnard, VP for Professional Development & Research

Doubting Darwin: Science, Faith & Knowledge in Evangelical Education Conference

June 8-10, 2011 | Biola University La Mirada, CA Is there still room to doubt Darwin? In the wake of the sesquicentennial of the publication of the Origin of Species (1859-2009), the central question of this conference is, “How do we go down a path of truth seeking on a controversial subject like Darwinism as Christian colleagues?” We hope to hear first-hand from Council faculty who hold different positions on the topic, learn to understand the various positions better, discover what legitimate critique of a prevailing scientific paradigm might look like, find out what wisdom colleagues outside the sciences can bring to the discussion, discover common ground, and generate ideas for moving forward in knowledge and Christian unity.
