In Faculty Commons, we understand the immense challenges you face as you seek to thrive and be an agent of change in today’s academic world. We are here to help you find the community, encouragement, and resources you need. Come write your chapter in God’s grander story.
Faculty Commons strives for the day when: Every campus has a movement of Christian professors, staff, and graduate students who desire to make Christ known to their colleagues and students and throughout the world. Every student has the opportunity to interact with professors and grad students who follow Christ and point students and colleagues to Him. Every academic discipline has a movement of Christian scholars, so Christian perspectives are heard throughout academia and the world.
