“This is an essential program for leaders and aspiring leaders at all levels – senior, middle and entry – and all vocations – private sector, government, non-profits, and religious. It provides not only theory and theology, but also practical skills on how to be a moral leader in today’s world. My only regret is that I did not take this program 20 years ago.”

Former General Counsel, Chief Compliance Officer and Designated Agency Ethics Official, Federal Government & Fortune 1000 Companies

It was wonderful seeing so many EI students, friends, alumni, and faculty at last week's Baltimore-Washington Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church.

Dr. Rebecca Hancock will be this evening’s guest lecturer for our summer Faith and Fiction course, which begins tonight!

Each week, Faith and Fiction features a different member of the EI faculty leading a discussion on a favorite book or film.

Tonight’s novel: 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘏𝘰𝘣𝘣𝘪𝘵 by J.R.R. Tolkien.

Congratulations to Darron C. Woodus (MACM ’18), who was ordained as a permanent deacon by Archbishop William Lori on Saturday, May 9.
