Register for Virtue Education Workshop for Professors

From May 11, to May 13, 2026, Pepperdine University is hosting a workshop designed to help faculty articulate and quantify specific learning outcomes related to character development, such as intellectual humility, generosity, deep friendship, and hospitality. Held from 9 AM to 3 PM on the Malibu campus, participants will learn to develop interactive activities and assignments that support students’ growth in virtues and to integrate these elements into new or existing syllabi in meaningful ways.

This year’s workshop will feature keynote speaker Dr. Elizabeth Whiting, director of Interdisciplinary and Engaged Learning in the Professional Schools at Wake Forest University’s Program for Leadership and Character. Her background highlights extensive experience in moral education and ethics, and in bringing these themes into professional and societal contexts. We invite faculty from any academic discipline at any US undergraduate institution to apply for this three day course development workshop on integrating character formation into course design.

This opportunity is free for Pepperdine Faculty, but has limited registration space!
