The University Today: Challenges and Opportunities (Video)

August 8, 2015 by ESN Announce Leave a Comment

Earlier Bob Trube, Senior Area Director, IVCF/USA shared the transcript (with minor edits) of The University Today: Challenges and Opportunities, a presentation he gave at the IFES World Assembly (Oaxtepec, Mexico, 7/22/2015). Now the video is available online and the Emerging Scholars Network  (ESN) doesn’t want you miss it!

Furthermore, we encourage you to find an opportunity with peers to discuss the  four “change” forces in the university that offer both challenges to and opportunities for mission in the university. To help facilitate conversation, the transcript includes the discussion questions Bob  posed regarding the implications of these “change” forces.  Please don’t hesitate to share  with ESN your

  • responses and insights,
  • related topics and resources to which we should give attention.

Once again, “Thank-you!” to  Bob for sharing The University Today: Challenges and Opportunities. What a privilege to prayerfully and more deeply engage with the International Fellowship of Evangelical Students (IFES) in the whole campus mission. To God be the glory! ~ Thomas B. Grosh IV, Associate Director, Emerging Scholars Network
