“For you have been born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the living and enduring Word of God. For all people are like grass, and all their glory is like the flowers of the field; the grass withers and the flowers fall, but the Word of the Lord endures forever."
-- 1 Peter 1:23-25

Dear fellow alumni:
Every summer when the perennials burst with all the colors, I am reminded of these verses. A couple weeks ago, faculty and staff helped out with a campus beautification day. It was a hot and humid morning of cleaning out the withered grass and fallen flowers. It was almost like acting out this Bible passage! Lesson learned: our time here on earth is short, but we have been born again through our living Lord, whose Word and mercy endures forever! Because He lives, we too shall live!
I hope to see you on campus this summer! Everything is open and we are so happy to see each other face-to-face. Please let me know if you’re planning a visit, and we will do our best to make it extra special!
God’s blessings,
|

Clinical trips return for nursing students |
Students from the Ronald and Marvel Jones School of Nursing are excited to take their learning on the road this summer! Toward the end of their six-semester curriculum, nursing students spend a summer term completing coursework with the opportunity to take their learning beyond the classroom on an organized international or domestic trip. The summer term also allows nursing students to graduate a semester sooner than they otherwise would be able to with a traditional academic calendar. To learn more, click here.

This is why fueling your body with the right nutrients is essential for optimal performance. Here are tips for making nutrition a priority, even in stressful seasons.

Final Thought from
Campus Pastor Randy Duncan
|
Each morning during the school year, our campus pastor, Randy Duncan, sends out an email full of inspirational thoughts, concepts to ponder, scripture, and prayer requests. We thought we would share some of his thoughts with you each month for us to contemplate.
