- Navigating the pitfalls of the college campus.
- (03) snakes with phds
- Answering the philosophies touted by textbooks, professors, and peers.
- (04) with friends like these, who needs enemies?
- Creating and maintaining relationships that will keep you sharp.
- (05) lemmings on parade
- The pros and cons of the most popular post-high school options.
- (++) education from a biblical worldview
- A special session with Dan Smithwick.
presenters
Four and a half hours of one person talking would get a little old, so we decided to spice things up a bit. The 2009 conference lineup proudly features:
- pastor j chace gordon
- If you haven't figured it out by now, J Chace Gordon created College Weekend Workshop. He's also an associate pastor at Cornerstone World Outreach and published author (his book is around here somewhere).
- dan smithwick
- President of Nehemiah Institute and creator of the PEERS assessment test, Dan Smithwick is one of the nation's leading experts on Biblical worldivew. We are honored to have him join us for a special session on America's education system.
- ben shapiro
- A recent graduate of UCLA and Harvard Law, Ben Shapiro is a nationally syndicated columnist for Creators Syndicate. His book Brainwashed: How Universities Indoctrinate America's Youth served as the subject for his stellar presentation at College Weekend Workshop.
awesomeness
So, what makes CWW the best thing since sliced manna? We're glad you asked.
- it's online
- No dvd player required. You watch what you want when you want via our sweet online app. We like to think of it as college prep on-demand.
- it's sarcastic
- Postmodernism and religious pluralism may not be the most exciting topics on the planet, but we tried to keep the sessions wry and witty (just like us).
- it's cheaper than dirt
- A whole lot less than any college credit.
- it's important
- A 2006 survey by Barna Research found that 2 out of 3 teens quit church after high school. If you're interested in keeping your faith at college, CWW is a step in the right direction.
