Engaging the University: Getting Practical

Engaging the University was the first of four topics discussed at GFM Staff Conference at Mundelein 2016. They were part of the larger conversation titled, "World Cafe."

Integration of Faith, Learning and Practice

This World Café offers an opportunity to explore how GFM staff can encourage and guide students and faculty as followers of Jesus in all of life—especially in their teaching, scholarship, colleague-ship, and institutional roles. We’ll brainstorm ideas and share best practices about how to help grad students and faculty integrate their faith, learning, and practice.

The guide for this world café topic includes an overview, instructions, and questions for discussion. This guide and the following 3 readings can be downloaded below.

Mission Drift: The Changing Landscape of Higher Education

This topic offers an opportunity to engage in important and current conversations in the university about the changing landscape of higher education and the purpose of the university in society.

Race, Diversity and Inclusion in a Pluralistic University

This World Café offers an opportunity to engage in one of the important conversations happening right now in many universities across the U.S. about race, diversity, and inclusion. We will explore how universities are navigating the challenges of fostering a respectful learning community in the midst of systemic racism, while also holding to their ideals of protecting the free and open exchange of ideas. We will discuss how we might encourage students and faculty of color, and how students and faculty might foster shalom on campus in the midst of these challenges.

Serving our STEM Sisters

If we believe that God has gifted many women with both the ability and the desire to invest their lives for the sake of Jesus in a STEM field and that the university (and wider culture) will be well served if they do, how can our InterVarsity communities be places of encouragement and empowerment? How can we provide some of the support they need to stick it out in these disciplines?
