If you've ever wanted to see what activities your professors do on campus besides teaching, the Faculty Talks on Scholarly, Creative and Professional Work are an opportunity to learn.

On Nov. 10, Kelley Coblentz-Bautch, a religious studies professor at St. Edward's University, gave a talk entitled "From Classroom to Conference and Back Again: Studies in Ancient Apocalypticism."
