It’s easy for Christian faculty to feel alone and isolated on a large campus like UF. A primary objective of the monthly faculty luncheon is to let people know we are on campus and we are Christ followers. Our desire is for our gathering to be a safe place for faculty who are seeking to know Christ. It’s also a place for Christian faculty to be strengthened in our witness for Christ as we mutually encourage one another to pursue the Lord. The speakers are generally UF professors and they cover topics that appeal to professors.

See below for dates and speakers. We’ll meet from 11:45 to 12:45 in a room in the UF Reitz Union.
