The spring edition of In Trust magazine is now out, and it includes great pieces to help you and your institution fulfill your mission, including:

Pathways: Lilly’s Pathways for Tomorrow Initiative selected 84 schools in its Phase 2, with grants of up to $1 million each. The In Trust Center is committed to providing a learning community, so all schools can grow. Read more here.

Three phrases: Dr. Rod Wilson argues in a new book that three simple phrases can revolutionize the world. His new book, Thank You. I’m Sorry. Tell Me More.: How to Change the World with Three Sacred Sayings offers an opportunity for boards, leadership teams, and schools to consider how they can transform their institutions. See more here.

Difficult conversations: No one wants to talk about when to have the discussion about whether to close a theological school, but the on-demand webinar “Finishing Well” provides expert advice on when to have the conversation, what to look for, and how to move forward. Read the story about what the experts say and get access to the webinar here.
