We often hear people ask, “What is the best advice you’ve ever been given?” You’ve likely been given great advice that has impacted your life.

Missouri Baptist University strives to promote academic excellence in a Christian environment. The third annual Faith and Learning Symposium allows faculty and graduate students from MBU and other universities to present their research within the context of faith and academic disciplines.
