InterVarsity Christian Fellowship‘s Emerging Scholars Network (ESN) interrupts their regularly scheduled programming to bring you the transcript (with minor edits) of a presentation given by Bob Trube, Senior Area Director, IVCF/USA, at the IFES World Assembly (Oaxtepec, Mexico, 7/22/2015). In considering The University Today, Bob addresses four “change” forces in the university that offer both challenges to and opportunities for mission in the university. After presenting, he received a number of requests for the transcript, in particular to discuss the questions he posed regarding the implications of these “change” forces. Thank-you to Bob for sharing The University Today: Challenges and Opportunities with ESN. We consider it a privilege to prayerfully and more deeply engage with IFES in the whole campus mission. To God be the glory! ~ Thomas B. Grosh IV, Associate Director, Emerging Scholars Network
