“Recently I had coffee with some dynamic Christian women who were in Charleston, SC doing some work for Campus Crusade. We ended up talking for two hours about the need for more professors who are working in the field of “Cognitive Science”, as I am, to connect “brain research” to the God who created our brains. It was a lively discussion.

“This spurred me to go to Meet The Prof.com and quickly create my profile page. I believe as a Christian professor that I can really make a difference in the life of a student. We can illuminate the world with the Word.

“I benefit from the encouragement and friendship of other believers. I like people who push the limits, but in a creative way. I enjoy the good energy of smart people who understand their place in the universe and who have not lost the perspective of Who God is and how amazing HE is.”

For 10 weeks this summer, 38 students are interning with Campus Crusade for Christ in Charleston, spending their daytime hours earning money at retail, restaurants and hotels, and spending their evenings and weekend in intensive training in evangelism and discipleship. Each intern is involved with a Charleston church and engaged in “Hands and Feet” where they spend volunteer hours helping with community needs.

In addition to Charleston Southern University, Faculty Commons staff met with professors at the Citadel, College of Charleston, and Medical University of South Carolina. Faculty Commons hopes to place a fulltime staff representative in the Charleston area in the near future. — Ed.
