FIRE Faculty Network Conference

Praise for FIRE's Faculty Conference

“This was my first FIRE conference so I did not know exactly what to expect. Overall, it exceeded my expectations for being informative, interesting, friendly, and professionally beneficial. I was also impressed by how well organized it was and how well the participants were treated. I have been telling friends to apply in the future.” — Michael Veber, East Carolina University

“I was hoping to make connections and find people who are also fighting for free speech and open inquiry at their institutions. I found a lot of them.” – Luana Maroja, Williams College

“I am incredibly grateful to have been invited back to attend a second faculty conference. The content shared and support offered is inspiring. More opportunities to engage like this would help build more confidence to build a culture of free expression on campus. The conference also attracts a high caliber of thinkers, which inspires me to up my scholastic game in order to more fully engage at this level.” – Matt Moreali, Southern Oregon University

“I was hoping to get a better sense of resources available to faculty who speak out on issues of university administration or other issues more generally, and I definitely achieved this goal. I thought the FIRE staff presentations were particularly useful and helpful.” – Enrique Armijo, Elon University
