Here's what some of our alumni are saying........
"One of the most important things I learned was to view service as a way of life unifying my vocation, personality, and faith in one entity and in one direction." ~ Shannon Barkley ('04) is a M.D. student at the University of Pennsylvania
"My outside of class interactions with faculty, friends, and peers have helped me to truly and realistically pursue my notion of vocation." ~ Bill Deal ('04) is a a high school chemistry teacher
"I intend on being a life long learner and my courses here have taught me how to go farther than learn merely for the test." ~ Cullen Schmid ('05) is a Ph.D. neuroscience student at The Ohio State University
"I learned a lot about what is really important in life (love God and love your neighbor), and that I should tailor my goals around those important things." ~ Sarah Schroeder ('05)
"I think the most important thing I've learned besides the scientific knowledge is that, contrary to popular belief, science and faith can coincide quite easily. So many times people believe that to be a scientist means you can't be a Christian as well. To have professors who are willing to talk about their faith as it relates to their field helped to solidify the notion that science and Christianity aren't necessarily polar opposites." ~ Jeremy Balsbaugh ('06) is a Ph.D. chemistry student at the University of Virginia
