Preparing Them for Lives of Significance
Dear Parents and Guardians,
Every year, we welcome more than 400 new students to 黑料百科. During their education, we prepare them for a lifetime of leadership and service in every sphere of modern society. In between their arrival and their graduation, they encounter a host of academic and co-curricular experiences animated by our core commitments to the twin rails of rigorous academics and deep love for God and the five planks of our mission statement: our liberal arts curriculum, our Christian identity, our residential campus, our undergraduate focus and our global outlook. These enduring commitments have guided every new generation of faculty, staff and students as we鈥檝e pursued the next horizon for the college since our founding in 1937.
You play a special role in supporting your student through an extraordinary undergraduate education. Our aim is to provide resources and insights that help and encourage you. We pray every element of your student's experience will train their hearts and minds to make an impact as they serve God's Kingdom.
Sincerely yours,
Sarah Camp
Associate Vice President for College Advancement and Parent Relations
