While the college years are obviously a time of preparation for
future profession, they are also, and more importantly, a
continuation of your preparation for the Heavenly Kingdom.

Favorite College Memory:

Memories are made through the people with whom you
share them. Spending 24/7 together allows you to get
to know people (and them to get to know you) better than
at any other time in your lives and to build unforgettable
experiences and relationships that grow with each year.


One piece of advice you would like to offer a college student.

Take every opportunity to explore, to learn and to grow,
remembering who you are and where you come from, while
challenging yourself and others, in and out of the
classroom.

Graduation


One piece of advice you would like to offer a college student.

Don't get lost and be a floater. Make sure you are engaged in
something positive, what it may be. Inertia is a great detriment
to your physical, mental, emotional,
and spiritual health.

One piece of advice you would like to offer a college student.

I give all of my students the same advice - as long as you keep
Christ at your center, when life is joyful, when life is stressful...
in all situations, He will always
take care of you and lead you to your next and right path and
although this sounds simple - this task may be the hardest thing
to remember.

Favorite College Memory:

To be honest my favorite college memory was graduation
although I cannot remember whom the speaker was but I had
such a hard time getting to graduation that it was like seeing
the empty tomb!


One piece of advice you would like to offer a college student.

You need to be a well-rounded student.  Grades are
important yes, but the friendships you make in college will
last long after anyone cares what you got for a grade in
biology lab.

My college memory did not occur while I attended college,

many good friends that I made while we studied together.
Now we share our life experiences and discuss our children!
