An academically challenging, Christ-centered liberal arts education is one of the most impactful tools we have to bring about the Kingdom of God here on earth. The experiences students have here are profoundly transformative, and to play a part in ensuring those experiences are affordable and accessible to those who need them is an incredible blessing. Serving the students, employees, alumni and friends of Houghton University is a perfect alignment of the my passions and interests with the skills ad experiences the Lord has provided me.
