These images are copyrighted for the sole purpose of promoting Messiah University. Subjects shown in these images also have signed the necessary releases that permit this type of use. Use of these images for any other purpose violates both the copyright and release agreements and, therefore, is strictly prohibited.

  • Images may be cropped, tilted, and color-corrected but may not be altered in other ways.
