Center for Origins Research Celebrates 20th Anniversary

Founded in 1989 as a "creationist resource center," the Center for Origins Research (CORE) at Bryan College will celebrate its 20th anniversary next summer. Initially just a single faculty member doing research and teaching part time, CORE has grown to two full-time research faculty, one full-time research assistant, and a new generation of students participating in the Origins Studies program. CORE faculty and staff now maintain a 2000-volume library of creationist materials, publish a monograph series CORE Issues in Creation, provide databases and online resources to creationists worldwide, in addition to conducting ground-breaking research in creationist biology. Through all of this growth, CORE has remained true to its identity as a young-age creationist organization and to its mission to develop and teach a creationist model of biological origins.

To commemorate twenty years of "building the model," CORE will be sponsoring a series of publications and special events throughout its twentieth year, 2008-2009. Also, students on campus will have the opportunity to participate in special courses during the spring semester. Below is the schedule of conferences, and a list of publications can be found here.
