This regional event is for Christian faculty and graduate students who desire to live out their faith in academia. For many, this conference has been a life-changing event in perspective and vision. You'll meet faculty and graduate students who will encourage and challenge you. You'll hear about resources and strategies that can help you be more effective in your life and service. You'll be refreshed to be with other faculty and graduate students who have "A Common Call."

Our primary speakers are Dr. Heather and Ashlee Holeman. Heather and Ashley served as full-time staff with Cru for 20 years, with Ashley directing Cru’s national graduate student ministry for 7 years. Ashley now serves as Executive Director of Seated and Sent, a ministry he and Heather founded to come alongside churches and ministries to catalyze their efforts to establish believers in their identity in Christ, to mobilize sent-ones, and to cultivate and unleash gospel impact. Heather is an associate teaching professor at Penn State and writer of several books, including Sent: Living a Life that Invites Others to Jesus (co-written with Ashley) and The Six Conversations: Pathways to Connecting in an Age of Isolation and Incivility, which helps readers connect in loving conversation. As a couple, they love investing in rich and warm friendships with those God has placed in their natural pathways. You can learn more about their ministry at www.seatedandsent.com.
