Protests. SAfe spaces. In the midst of it all, John Jay Institute alumni stand for truth in education.

As bright young Christian scholars consider careers in academia, many anticipate tension with colleagues or administrators who don't respect their beliefs. But it is going a step further to seek to thrive: to play a vital role in educating the next generation of college students, giving them the grounding in ideas, history, and humility to prepare them for adulthood.

In this impact snapshot, we speak with Jonathan Teubner, who even before the Charlottesville events of 2017 was working there to address the beliefs and conflicts that shape communities around the world. We catch up with Janice Chik Breidenbach, who splits her time between Oxford University and Ave Maria University and experiences the difference between religious and secular higher education. And we listen in on conversations between Marty Manor Mullins, Caleb Verbois, Nali Hilderman, Aaron Walter, Ján Baňas, Thomas Bell, and David Tomkins about preparing for and engaging the permanent things in a university context.

Support our efforts to prepare the next generation of Principled Public lEaders

We seek out the best and brightest of tomorrow’s creators and writers, parents and teachers, lawmakers and pastors, entrepreneurs and philanthropists. We provide them with the intellectual, spiritual, and professional training for transformational cultural leadership. And then we give them membership in a close-knit professional fraternity of alumni to facilitate their strategic placement, continued growth, and lasting impact on American culture.
