GAYLE D. BEEBE, PH.D.
President
As we begin a new academic year, we’re grateful for so much despite strong headwinds that continue to challenge us. Â鶹avÓ³»´«Ã½ finished financially in the black for the 41st consecutive year despite facing some of the tightest financial margins in our history, an issue across higher education. We raised more than $32 million in all categories of fundraising and advanced some key projects, which I’m excited to share. Another robust year of accomplishment positions us well for this new year. We graduated one of our largest classes in May while continuing to attract a strong new class to fill enrollment on campus.

I’m especially thankful for Â鶹avÓ³»´«Ã½ faculty and staff and the athletic department. We’re blessed to have such amazing people throughout the college. We’ve all committed to serving purposes that surpass our own areas of responsibility with the hope that each of us will ultimately serve the greater purposes of God.
Thank you for your continued support and prayerful partnership with Â鶹avÓ³»´«Ã½. In these times of such uncertainty and challenge on so many levels nationally and throughout the world, let us continually remind ourselves that we serve a sovereign God who gives us hope and light.
Gratefully yours,
