Faith and Business Luncheons
Perkins’ mission to prepare women and men for faithful leadership in Christian ministry extends to students and ministry professionals, laypersons, and the larger community. In support of this mission, our Faith and Business Luncheons are held three times a year and feature guests for critical reflection on the intersection of public life and personal faith.
We are pleased to have ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ Head Football Coach Rhett Lashlee as our guest speaker for the April 15th Faith and Business Luncheon. Head Coach Rhett Lashlee continued to build on the program's success in his third season in charge in 2024. 
Lashlee has a career head coaching record of 29-12 (.707), the second-most wins for a head coach in his first three years in program history. The third-year coach has been the driving force in leading the Mustangs’ return to prominence, leading ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ to a mark of 11-3 and 8-0 record in conference play in its inaugural season in the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC), which resulted in an appearance in the ACC Championship. For his success, he was named the ACC Coach of the Year while also seeing 19 Mustangs garner All-ACC accolades.
The Arkansas native was also selected as a finalist for the second straight year for the Eddie Robinson National Coach of the Year Award and the Paul “Bear” Bryant National Coach of Year Award, while also being named a semi-finalist for the George Munger National Coach of the Year Award for a second straight season.
Lashlee also took home Texas Football Coach of the Year honors from Dave Campbell’s Texas Football publication, an award he shared with Texas’ Steve Sarkisian in 2023, and ACC Coach of the Year by the Associated Press (AP).
A one-time finalist (2013) and two-time semifinalist (2019, 2020) for the Broyles Award, Lashlee has the distinction of being the only coach ever nominated for the Broyles Award four different times at four different schools (Arkansas State, Auburn, ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½, Miami). He and his wife Lauren have been married for 16 years and have four children.
We invite you to join us in hearing from Coach Lashlee. Although there is no charge to attend the luncheon, reservations are required.
