There are 2.6 billion sites in existence today that relate to blogs and blogging. You may be surprised to know that of those 2.6 billion blogs, about 20 million of them relate to some kind of academic community. That's right! University, faculty, and student blogs are an exploding trend.

Regent University encourages you to blog about subjects in your discipline. It gives you the opportunity to dialogue with your students about meaningful topics outside of the classroom. What's more, blogs are accessible by the global audience of internet users, giving you the chance to communicate with those outside of the university community about issues they might otherwise remain ignorant of.

If you're interested in starting a blog, contact your Dean.

Check out Dean Charles Dunn's compelling political blog: "The Chuck Dunn Report."

Last year I conducted a lunchtime series on the use of biblical exegesis and hermeneutics as avenues for academic research. Each session provided a twenty five minute mini-lecture followed by twenty five minute hands on activities.

This ten-part series is now available to Regent faculty via Blackboard. We will use the Live Classroom in Blackboard so that you can be a part of this course from the comfort of your office or from home.

This content will provide you with ideas for additional faith and learning integration opportunities in your own research.

It is my growing conviction that a clearer understanding of the Hebrew and Christian scriptures holds the promise of the resurgence of modern moral and values-based approaches in higher education leadership today. Only when our understanding and practice of leadership is utterly informed and fueled by the word of God will we have the kind of Christian leadership that will change the world.
