DEVELOPING A CHRISTIAN MIND CONFERENCE 2025
How does being a disciple of Christ impact and intersect with academic life, whether temporarily as students or over a lifelong career? What are the promises and pitfalls of the academy? How can we serve and relate to Christ's broader body and purposes?
Join other MIT and Harvard grad students, postdocs, and faculty as we explore these and other questions at Discipling a Christian Mind: Cambridge (DCM: Cambridge). Be inspired through lectures and faculty panels. Be encouraged through conversations and connecting with others in your discipline.
