Our Mission: We develop ethical leaders, confident learners, and compassionate, engaged citizens.

In our Experience, some of our most impactful lessons happen outside of the classroom, through
service learning, chapel, and class trips. We have updated and expanded our class trip series.  We believe these experiences will help students develop leadership skills (YMCA Ozarks and YMCA Estes Park), develop confidence in experiential lab settings (Key Largo, Estes Park), and better understand local and global food insecurity issues (Heifer International).
