Established in 1991, the Lilly Network of Church-Related Colleges and Universities addresses issues of common interest to institutions in church-related higher education. Through their collaborative efforts, the Network’s members explore the relationship of Christianity to the academic vocation and strengthen the religious character of the institutions through a variety of activities and publications. The Network is one of several initiatives sponsored by the Lilly Fellows Program. For more information, go to https://www.lillyfellows.org/ or contact one of the Lilly Fellows Program’s campus representatives: Dr. Barbara Rico (English), Dr. Jennifer Ramos (Political Science), and Dr. John Sebastian (Mission and Ministry).
