Welcome

Welcome to Azusa Pacific University’s 18th Annual William E. and Ernest L. Boyer Common Day of Learning (CDL). Since 1993, APU has fostered its commitment to scholarship—one of the university’s four cornerstones—by hosting a campus-wide conference dedicated to the commemoration and celebration of academic discovery. Regular daytime activities are suspended so that faculty, staff, and students can have an opportunity to share their recent findings with each other and guests from the surrounding communities. The morning chapel session features a keynote address by a distinguished guest speaker, and members of the campus community participate in scholarly presentations throughout the day.

To promote a common conversation, the CDL conference event is planned around a central theme. The theme for this year - “Cling to What is Good” (Romans 12:9) - invites reflection on the nature of goodness and the One who is Good. Although this is a time of great uncertainty, as Christian scholars we can set our minds on things above and trust that the peace of God will guard our hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.

Sincerely,

Jennifer E. Walsh, Ph.D. Suzanna Sund
