Let’s
wish them a successful start as they engage with our community.
Staff
from Arcadia University Global Studies visited recently, and we look forward to
the collaborative opportunities this new relationship will provide. Having
utilized them at two previous institutions, I predict very good outcomes.
Kudos
to Vice President for Student Affairs Keith Moore and his outstanding staff for
developing and implementing an excellent program of orientation for our new
Marlins. Thanks to all who contributed to a highly successful experience.
At the
SOAR Worship Service in our chapel last Sunday, our College Chaplain, Greg West,
shared several ways that students may get involved in Marlin Ministries. From
joining Life Groups to the SOAR Worship Team & Gospel Choir, there are so
many great opportunities. I’ve attached an invitation to become involved, and encourage
you to take advantage of these wonderful groups.
Have a
wonderful weekend.
