“Together with others at NWC, I want to nurture students to serve in the arts, business, medicine, politics, missions, sociology, education, athletics and more. At the same time, I want to encourage them to explore balance among family, work, church, leisure and civic responsibilities. If we can achieve this, we will have helped them prepare for kingdom citizenship and purposeful Christian living.”
