– Jonathan Falwell, Liberty University Chancellor
“The Global Center for Human Flourishing (GCHF) is building on the Global Flourishing Study which is a collaborative project between researchers at Harvard University and Baylor University, partnering with Gallup to collect extensive data on human flourishing across diverse countries.”
On One of the Largest Christian Campuses
Our founder, Dr. Jerry Falwell Sr., was a man who understood the potential power and unstoppable energy behind a body of students committed to their chosen fields and living out the Christian commandments.
“It was so inspiring to see the students be so enthusiastic and engaged. It gives me hope for the future!”
