The Public/Private Divide: A Conversation with Christian University Administrators at Public and Faith-based Universities

Session Abstract

Panelists have served in top administrative roles at public and private universities. They will reflect on their work as Christians in administration, challenges they faced to live authentically, and how they expressed their faith in their administrative roles. Keeping with the conference theme of “What Will Be Our Future?” they will also discuss ways to mentor Christian faculty and mid-level administrators for roles in upper administration.
