Our annual Scholarship Luncheon on Thursday, Feb. 13, 2025 will feature award-winning author, literature professor and international speaker Dr. Carolyn Weber. In her memoir, which is also a feature film, Surprised by Oxford, Dr. Weber chronicles her journey from agnosticism to faith. A two-time Oxford graduate, she was the first female dean of St. Peter’s College, Oxford. She is currently on faculty at New College Franklin in Franklin, Tennessee, as literature professor.
Praise for Surprised by Oxford
"… what I love most about her is her heart, which you'll find on every page of this book. This is a journey worth taking, and as our guide, Carolyn is candid, insightful and charming." – Randy Alcorn, New York Times best-selling author
All in attendance of our 2025 Scholarship Luncheon are sure to be inspired by Dr. Weber's message and the powerful testimony of a current scholarship recipient. Proceeds will provide life-changing scholarships to students with significant financial need and challenging circumstances.
