In today's academic climate, it can be difficult to navigate how to be a Christian graduate student. Specializing programs emphasize — and all but demand — a siloing of one's personal beliefs and one's professional concerns. In effect, becoming a highly specialized and competent professional seems to mandate that one be a Christian and a graduate student, but not a Christian graduate student.

What role can and ought one's faith take in navigating academia? How do friendships, relationships, and mentorships help one overcome the challenge of an ideologically secular academy?

In this panel discussion, four academics will describe how they have managed to integrate their faith commitments and their specialized work. Offering both pragmatic advice and theoretical framings, these successful Christian academics will offer some advice on becoming Christian Graduate students.
