Colorado Christian University is celebrating the 50th anniversary of the first teacher education programs offered at our heritage institutions. Both the School of Education in the College of Undergraduate Studies and the School of Education Professions in the College of Adult and Graduate Studies continue to adapt in an ever-changing landscape to train and equip competent, committed, Christ-centered teachers.
Centennial Institute Distinguished Lecture Series, co-hosted by the School of Education, featuring Mr. Ian Rowe. Rowe, senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, will speak on "Thriving Children in Thriving Communities". Young people in disadvantaged communities face societal barriers and a cultural narrative that tells them they are victims. In addition to a personal conviction in their own potential, kids need the nurturing structure, the consistent discipline, and the moral direction that social institutions traditionally have provided. In particular, they need Family, Religion, Education, and Entrepreneurship—the very pillars that have crumbled in our most disadvantaged communities.
Register50th Anniversary of Education Programs Gala. Join us for a fabulous celebration as we honor this milestone anniversary and celebrate CCU's contributions to the educations profession. Enjoy a plated dinner, faculty and student speakers, and a keynote address by Marshall Foster. Dr. Foster founded the World History Institute, a nonprofit educational foundation, to teach the biblical and historical foundations of liberty. The World History Institute (formerly the Mayflower Institute) has become a major force in the movement to restore our nation to its Judeo-Christian heritage. The institute has reached millions with America's "untold heritage".
