2nd Annual L.I.F.E. Teaching Conference on November 6: REGISTRATION
We will be hosting the 2nd Annual L.I.F.E. Teaching Conference. Last year, over 185 registrants interacted with presenters from faith-based (Belmont University, Biola University, and Wheaton College), public (Miami University and University of Oklahoma), and private institutions (Duke University, Princeton University, and Yale University).
This year's conference will explore the growing field of how faith and entrepreneurship intersect in the classroom and beyond to inspire the next generation of entrepreneurial leaders. This gathering equips faculty to share best practices, exchange ideas, and discover fresh approaches for integrating faith and entrepreneurship across diverse contexts, including curricular and co-curricular opportunities.
