Listen "Why Work Matters: Dr. Melissa Davis on Calling, Agriculture, and Building a New Program at Williams"
Episode Synopsis
Dr. Melissa Davis, Agri-Business Professor at Williams Baptist University, shares how her journey from a small town in Tennessee led to launching a new agribusiness program at Williams. Drawing inspiration from Dorothy Sayers’ classic essay “Why Work,” Dr. Davis explores work’s intrinsic and instrumental value—showing how it can be both a livelihood and a calling aligned with God’s greater plan.She discusses the program’s unique blend of small class sizes, hands-on learning, and real-world engagement through greenhouses, farms, and processing facilities, as well as its rare place among private Christian universities. With a passion for raising up well-rounded agricultural leaders, Dr. Davis invites students from all backgrounds to explore how work can fulfill purpose, serve others, and transform communities.Preview Day: https://williamsbu.edu/previewApply Now: https://williamsbu.edu/application/
