Email address
Are you already a member of the TFT Fellowship, with a member log-in?
– See this page to join the T. F. Torrance Fellowship. There is no membership cost for students. Members: here's how to log-in if you have forgotten your password. Tip: Update your member profile before the event (how to).
Would you like a guest pass?
– You do not need to be a member to participate in the Workshop-Retreat. Registered non-member participants will be given a Guest Pass to log-in. A log-in to this TFT Fellowship website is required: either a member log-in or a guest pass.
Do you give us permission to include your email address on the Workshop-Retreat Participants List?
– The Workshop-Retreat Participants List requires a website log-on to view; it is not on the open internet. The reason email addresses are included on the list is to facilitate back-channel communication during breaks and mealtimes, and after the event. For those who are members, the Participants List also links to member profile pages which indicate research interests, institutions, personal or professional websites, etc. If there is any additional information you want included (such as affiliation or title) on the Participants List, just let us know. If you are a member, feel free to update your member profile (or ask us to help you create one).
