Empowering Educators: Highlights from the 2024 Newman Track Fellowship at Acton University

In June, 60 educators, school administrators, and stakeholders gathered in Grand Rapids, MI, for the third annual Newman Track Fellowship at Acton University, over doubling our numbers from last year. This exclusive opportunity is made possible by the Acton Institute, which graciously includes JHNI as a featured track within their renowned conference.

"This was a tremendous opportunity to be a part of building a society that defends the dignity of the human person, and individual freedom. I learned a great deal and made many new friendships and made alliances that will aid my school community and my students." - Newman Fellow

This annual four-day exploration of the intellectual foundations of a free society is a unique event that brings together a diverse group of influential participants from around the globe for a week of lectures on the intersection of Christian anthropology and free market economics.

Acton University provided Newman Fellows with the chance to engage deeply in a range of intellectual courses, both within the broader Acton University program and through specialized Newman Track courses focused on Catholic Liberal Education. Participants hailed from over 20 schools and organizations nationwide, with attendees traveling from as far afield as California, Ireland, Maryland, and even Uganda.

JHNI offered six courses this year, covering topics from teaching strategies to fundraising and administration.
