What is a Ver­i­tas Forum?

Ver­i­tas Forums are uni­ver­sity events that engage stu­dents and fac­ulty in dis­cus­sions about life’s hard­est ques­tions and the rel­e­vance of Jesus Christ to all of life. The forums are cre­ated by local uni­ver­sity stu­dents, pro­fes­sors, and min­is­ters while shaped and guided by the national Ver­i­tas Forum team.

What is the mis­sion of Ver­i­tas Forums?

We cre­ate forums for the explo­ration of true life. We seek to inspire the shapers of tomorrow’s cul­ture to con­nect their hard­est ques­tions with the per­son and story of Jesus Christ.

FYI: our very own Shaowei Lin just placed #11 in the Put­nam Com­pe­ti­tion (a nation­wide math contest).

That’s right. By at least one mea­sure, Shaowei is one of the 11 best col­lege stu­dents at math in America.

I hear he’s avail­able for tutor­ing.

It seems like iPods are all over cam­pus right now, and so we’ve decided to begin pod­cast­ing our messages.

What’s pod­cast­ing, you ask? It’s just a tech­nique that makes it con­ve­nient for you to down­load MP3s into your iPod (or what­ever portable audio device you use–heck, it can even be your laptop).

So if you’ve got an MP3 player of any sort and you’d like to get our ser­mons each week, just down­load some receiv­ing soft­ware (such as the free iPod­der), sub­scribe to our pod­cast feed, and you’re good to go!
