On Thursday, Nov. 6, NFL Pro Football Hall of Famer Mike Singletary spoke to Cambridge School of Dallas students, families and guests as the keynote speaker for the annual Faith & Culture Keynote Dinner and Lecture.  Mr. Singletary's address,  entitled "A Home of Champions:  Casting a Vision for your Family"  focused on his principles for parenting and was interwoven with stories from his playing and coaching years. 

Mike Singletary is most recognized as one of the Chicago Bears' toughest middle linebackers and member of the famed '85 Super Bowl team. He was selected to participate in the Pro Bowl ten of his twelve years as a player. Mike also led the NFL as Defensive Player of the Year three times, and was the Bears' team captain for ten years. After retiring from football in 1993, he spent ten years as a motivational speaker and corporate consultant helping companies elevate their strategies for teamwork and overall success. In 2003, after many previous requests to coach, he answered the call to join the Baltimore Ravens, followed by San Francisco, and then the Minnesota Vikings. Mike is currently serving the NFL as Defensive Consultant to the Executive Vice President of Football Operations, with the intention of coaching again following this season.

The Faith & Culture Dinner and Lecture is the keynote event within The Cambridge School of Dallas' Faith & Culture Lecture Series.  The dinner and lecture brings notable authors and speakers to the Dallas area and focuses on how the Christian faith ought to impact the culture.  The Cambridge School of Dallas' Faith & Culture Lecture Series brings together influential authors, politicians, leaders, teachers and students in a series of events and lectures throughout the year and is fundamental in fulfilling the School's mission of "fostering a love of learning."  The events encourage learning for a lifetime for the Cambridge community, the greater Dallas area, and beyond.

An integral part of the Faith & Culture Lecture Series is Faculty Lyceum - quarterly lectures by members of the Cambridge faculty on texts or topics within their field of study, celebrating the unity of all truth in Christ and the diverse contributions made by each academic discipline.   These lectures are free, and open to the public.
