“Crossing & Crossroads”

October 1–3, 2010
Concordia University
Irvine, California

As a crossroads for people and ideas, California is a center of innovation, creativity, change and challenges. The same can be said for the university. The theme for the 2010 ALCF conference is “Crossings and Crossroads.” We will focus on the intersections, juxtapositions, and integrations of ideas and experiences in the academy.

All faculty and staff who teach or work at a Lutheran college, or Lutheran faculty members who teach at any university, are invited to submit a paper or panel proposal.

Presentation Themes

Presentations are invited on such topics as:

• The Sojourner Experience: International students, foreign study/travel, Third Culture Kids, exchange programs
• Interdisciplinary Experiences: Faith and reason, capstone courses, the sciences and humanities, the arts and life, the classroom and the “real” world, internships and practicum experiences
• The New Millennium: 10 years in, how are we doing? Trends, technologies, the current state of your discipline, online education
• Personal Integration: Faith in the classroom, faith and vocation, balancing family and vocation
• Transitions and interaction on campus: Transitioning in rank, transitioning to administration, mentoring colleagues and students, advising clubs, social networking

Please submit your proposal by August 1, 2010.
