Cultivating Human Flourishing
An Academic Symposium
3 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 25, 2017
Waco Hall, 624 Speight Ave.
Baylor’s role as an unambiguously Christian institution of higher education calls us to engage in research and dialogue about factors that shape and nurture the human condition. Humans reach their fullest potential when they develop across multiple dimensions and are nourished physically, spiritually, emotionally, professionally, environmentally and through the acquisition of knowledge and understanding. These Baylor scholars, whose works cross a range of disciplines, join together to explore the crossroads of human flourishing. Symposium participants:
