WWU Launches Speaker Bureau

By Kelsi Dos Santos, October 09, 2024

Steeped in more than 130 years of Christian academic excellence, Walla Walla University is a gathering point for experts whose understanding is grounded in an Adventist worldview. 

With the vast entirety of the internet in nearly every pocket, we have ever-increasing access to information, but access to information is not the same as obtaining deep wisdom, insight or know-how. 

Faithful faculty with serious knowledge in the fields of engineering, economics, Renaissance literature, special education, faith-based filmmaking, the Reformation, organizational leadership, grief processing and more challenge and grow our students every day. To share this precious resource more easily with its communities, WWU has launched a speaker bureau.

While faculty and staff have a long tradition of professional activity, the speaker bureau is a centralized way for the community to access WWU's teaching talent. 

The bureau includes a few of WWU’s experts who have extensive experience engaging congregations and inspiring audiences across the U.S. and around the world. Speakers expand the educational mission of WWU beyond its walls, pouring into communities across North Pacific Union. 

WWU seeks to convey a wisdom that translates academic excellence into responsible citizenship, generous service, a deep respect for the beauty in God’s creation and the promise of re-creation through Jesus Christ.

For more information about the speaker bureau, visit wallawalla.edu/speaker or contact Pam Cress, WWU vice president for academic administration, at 509-527-2431.
