University Faculty for Life is an organization of scholars dedicated to the intellectual and scholarly inquiry of abortion,
infanticide, euthanasia, and related issues. Since an increasing majority of college and university students are pro-life, we would like to help these students by encouraging them to strive for scholarly excellence as they examine these issues and by assisting them with building a publications portfolio.
