 The Wabash Center hosts workshops for teachers of theological and religious studies in higher education in an accredited seminary or theological school in the United States, Puerto Rico, or Canada. Important Links Payment of Participants Policy on Full Participation Travel and Reimbursement Guidelines Reimbursement Form Things To Do In Crawfordsville Honorarium Participants in Wabash Center workshops receive an honorarium based on the number of days and amount of advance preparation and responsibility. Processes and Procedures for the Payment of Honorarium Policy on Deadlines for Program Deadlines The program deadlines are meant to facilitate application by a wide array of participants, as well as create fairness in the selection process. Program deadlines also assist administrative staff who work to support each group and all programs. The Wabash Center will, when we see the necessity, extend the deadline of an application process. We will rarely, if ever, extend the deadline for individual requests. We ask participants, as well as recommenders, to respect these important deadline boundaries. Adherence to deadlines foster fair-mindedness and a spirit of collegiality. Should an issue need to be arbitrated, please be in touch with the Director of the Wabash Center. 2026 Teaching and Learning Workshops Early Career Hybrid Workshop: Reclaiming Joy and Authenticity in Teaching Early Career Hybrid Workshop: From "The Grind" to "The Work Your Soul Must Have" Hybrid Workshop: Faculty of Asian Descent 2025 Colloquies JoT Colloquy 2025 Teaching and Learning Workshops Early Career Religion Faculty Teaching Undergraduates (Hybrid) Early Career Theological School Faculty (Hybrid) African Diaspora Community as Classroom Sacred Self-Care Benediction Past Gatherings See a complete list of Wabash workshops, colloquies, and conferences with a group photo and list of participants.

Submitting an Application for a Wabash Consultant Please submit the following materials through our online application process: Contact Information Preliminary Project Description Statement Letter of Support from your Department Chair, Dean, Provost, or President Assignment Process for a Consultant After receiving a school’s application, a consultant will assist the contact person to refine and clarify the nature, scope, focus and duration of the consultation. This may take two or three conversations. Once refined, the consultant will work with the Wabash Center staff person to draft a letter of agreement detailing the consultation. The letter of agreement will be sent to the school’s contact person for signature. The work of the consultation will then proceed and must remain within the boundaries of the letter of agreement. Should changes in the agreement be necessary, the letter of agreement will need to be amended. Note: The Wabash Center provides the stipend for the consultant’s work. In the rare instance that a consultant travels to a campus, the Wabash Center will also provide travel for the consultant. All other costs (e.g., resources, hotel lodging, food) associated with the consultation are the responsibility of the school. Contact Information We need information about the school, the primary contact person for the consultation, your Dean, Provost, Principal, or Department Chair (whoever coordinates the faculty members you wish to invite to the consultation), and an additional committee member who will be helping to plan the consultation. Given the three areas of focus (Consultant Program foci), from which area are you seeking support? Please be specific. The Project Description Statement - no more than 3 pages, single-spaced Your Statement Should Address the Following: Describe the presenting problem, concern, or issue that has been identified for a consultation. How does it align with one of our three stated foci above? What is the importance of this topic or issue in your context? What outcomes are desired from the consultation? Be specific. Note any other institutional initiatives in which you are participating and their relationship to this request (such as other grant projects, an impending accreditation visit, or a past workshop or consultation). Describe your institutional context by providing a succinct profile of your school or department (such as the type of students, number of faculty, typical teaching load). Provide the current priorities of the school and any other factors that may influence the design or goals of the consultation. Charting or graphing these materials is encouraged. Identify the people who have committed to work on the issue or concern and who will be directly involved with the consultation and who will help you develop the follow-up steps. Let us know how much support you have for addressing this problem, both from the institutional side (e.g., staff and administrators, trustees, other stakeholders) and by other faculty members. Projected Possible Dates: Please indicate any flexibility you have on the range of dates that you supplied in the application. Each context is unique. Provide us with any additional information we might need to know to better support your consultation. Letter of Support Please attach a letter of support from the Dean, Provost, Principal, or Department Chair that you have consulted about this application. Ask them to address the question of institutional support for addressing the problem that you have named and how it relates to other institutional initiatives.
