Veritas Forum Area Directors

There are currently no Area Director positions open.

Veritas Forums seek to transform the social and academic conversations on campus through events that raise compelling questions about life and truth, and that provide thoughtful answers. Recent Forum topics include “Why hasn’t religion died out?”, “Can science and faith co-exist?”, and “Am I more than my resume?”

We are seeking candidates who are eager to build Veritas movements on campuses across the country. Candidates will have the opportunity to engage students, faculty, and administrators in discussions about the nature of truth, the purpose of life, the problem of injustice, and other critical topics – crafting Forums that point to Jesus in a unique and winsome way. These Forums impact thousands of students a year, and contribute to the pursuit of truth and dialogue that will affect many more.

Veritas Forum Area Directors would be responsible for the following:

  • Lead team development and event execution of Veritas Forums on 10-12 campuses each academic year
  • Build strong, trust-based relationships with campus ministers on their campuses and with regional staff (e.g., area directors, regional directors), with the goal of building a self-replicating Veritas movement composed of partner ministries on each campus
  • Act as a University engagement “consultant”, guiding the campus team to make strong decisions regarding engagement approach, outreach strategy, and Forum components (i.e., presenters, topics and formats) that will best engage their campuses
  • Act as a bridge between the campus team and national resources (i.e., drawing on best practices, engaging with latest campus trends, recruiting and hosting speakers on campus)
  • Participate in broader strategic and operational work of Veritas, as needed
  • Area Directors will work closely with the VP of University Engagement, Associate National Director, and other Veritas staff and advisors. Regular travel to regional campuses is required (all costs will be covered, 2-3 visits per campus)
