A three-day conference sponsored by Whitworth University’s Weyerhaeuser Center for Christian Faith & Learning, in partnership with the Lilly Network, titled “Renewing Mind & Heart: Questions for the Next Generation in Higher Education” will bring together some of today’s leading Christian thinkers to discuss what the future of Christian higher education looks like and what makes a Christian university education worthwhile.
Nicholas McKinney, Whitworth’s associate dean of international education, has been elected to the International Student Exchange Program’s (ISEP) Council of Advisors.
Bestselling author and literary biographer Joseph Pearce will present this year’s Simpson-Duvall Lecture, “The Christianity of The Lord of the Rings,” on Oct. 7 at 7 p.m. in Weyerhaeuser Hall’s Robinson Teaching Theatre. The event is sponsored by Whitworth’s Speakers & Artists.
