Dear Parents,
Within a few weeks another school year will come to a close and 300+ graduates will leave campus with a diploma in hand. What an exciting time of year on campus! Whether your student is completing their freshman year, will be one of those graduating, or somewhere in between, I think we can all agree that time flies by. The college years are some of the most formative years of a student’s life and truly a time where they are figuring out not just what will they do occupationally, but ultimately who they will be. I am so thankful we have a faculty and staff who build into our students from a biblical world-view.
It’s easy to get caught up in fretting about all that is negative and wondering what kind of world our children and grandchildren will inherit. While those concerns are legitimate and understandable, I was reminded in a devotional this past week that God is not surprised by anything going on today. He placed these circumstances and us in this world for such a time as this. He is still in control and is preparing your student to take the Good News into every corner of the world. I pray that He will use them in ways that we can’t even imagine. May we as Christ-followers be salt and light in all we do!
In Him,
Scott Anderson ‘84
Director of Alumni & Parent Relations

It feels like we are finally nearing the finish line. It may be time to celebrate a victory but it is not time to let down our guard as parents. Whether our student’s departure is for a summer or for their launch into their post-graduation lives, this milestone is not yet the end of the road and the next stretch comes with a separation from the key supports of the UNW faith community. What can we do to help our students turn this good start into a steady-till-sunset experience? |
