2022-2023 Grace College Undergraduate Viewbook

on a new adventure

You will never forget your first experience as a Grace Lancer. The moment your car pulls onto our beautiful lakeside campus for PreUnion, you’ll know you made the right choice. After a day spent playing sand volleyball, tubing behind the Grace boat, and paddle boarding down the canal, you will conclude with a time of worship. As you collectively lift up your voices in praise, you’ll recognize these aren’t just your future classmates; they are your brothers and sisters in Christ. By the end of the day, you won’t just be excited about your journey ahead. You will be ecstatic.

PreUnion is not the only day you will enjoy the recreational opportunities around Winona Lake. When you first arrive on campus, there will be warm, sunny days where you will spend your afternoons on the mountain biking trails just five minutes from campus! Or if biking isn’t your thing, you can enjoy longboard rides through the greenways or kayaking into the sunset at dusk. Your time at Grace will bring countless adventures, and many of them will take place in our own backyard!

the faces

As you settle into your first year, your relationships with your peers will deepen. Your growth group leader will encourage you to grab hold of the truth of scripture in your transition away from home, and you will find friends who will pray with you when your heart is heavy. By the time you’re driving off campus for summer break, a collection of faces will fill your rearview mirror, enthusiastically waving goodbye.

You will be forever impacted by these faces.

College is about more than just making friends. When you first look at our list of more than 100 majors, minors, and concentrations, you might feel as though you’ll never be able to make a decision.

But after a semester of CORE classes and with the help of your professors, mentors, and friends, you will discover a program that explores your greatest passions and prepares you for the career of your dreams.

While we’re talking about your professors... over the course of your time at Grace, your professors will become more than faces at the front of the classroom. They will be the faces you see each week at the gym and at the campus coffee shop. They are real people with their own stories of being transformed by grace.

ENGAGE your professors

When Dr. Tiberius Rata isn’t teaching a systematic theology course or filling the pulpit of a local church, he’s challenging students to a game of ping pong. Formerly ranked by the U.S. Table Tennis association, Rata promises his students who beat him a perfect score on the next quiz. In his 16 years at Grace, only four students have been able to claim the bragging rights of beating “The Assassin,” as students affectionately call him.

Dr. Roger Stichter

Every year, Dr. Roger Stichter gives his advanced accounting students a day off of class to work on a community service project together. But do not be deceived — Stichter can get down to business, and his students’ CPA pass rates prove it. Grace accounting students have the highest pass rates among schools of our size.

Dr. Cheryl Bremer

Famous on campus for his Marriage and Family course, Dr. Joe Graham doesn’t just teach on building and maintaining strong relationships; he practices it with his students. His behavioral science classes are filled with personal stories from his extensive experience in the field as a local church clinician and a counselor for juvenile delinquents. If you’re lucky, he might even throw in a story about a recent round of golf or smoking a new kind of meat.

Dr. Cheryl Bremer is one of the greatest advocates for children with special needs. She has been recognized twice as “Outstanding Special Education Professor” at Indiana’s Council for Exceptional Children Conference. What really sets her apart is that even as a dean and professor in the School of Education, she makes time to get involved in community service programs like Lunch Buddies, Respite Care, Mentors for Mentors, and Tim Tebow’s Night to Shine Prom event.

Exercise Science Program Director Christi Walters is always ready to direct her students toward the grace of the gospel — whether it is over a “life talk” in her office, integrated into lab coursework in class, or in the middle of an intense workout at the gym. Walters spent her first several years at Grace as an athletic trainer before she saw an opportunity to expand the exercise science program. Now, the program has a state-of-the-art COSMED VO2 max machine and several new offerings, including a fitness and nutrition concentration.

Champions of Character

Speaking of being transformed by Grace, you will never forget the lessons you learn on the court, on the field, or in the arena. Your time competing will be so much more than a game — it will be a platform to represent Christ. You will grow in your discipline, determination, tenacity, and grit. You will learn how to be a good teammate and embrace what it means to be a sacrificial leader. While you are at Grace, you will become a Champion of Character.

new places

Your time at Grace won’t just be about taking the field; it will be about exploring the globe.

When it comes time for you to decide on an immersive cross-cultural experience, you might have a hard time choosing. Should you study abroad for a semester in Hungary?

Or should you go on a ten-day trip to Morocco and explore the Sahara

Desert? Maybe you choose to spend a week serving with a ministry organization in Uganda. Regardless of where you go, your senses will be engaged, your wanderlust will be satisfied, and you will leave the trip forever changed.

Your world will expand as you encounter new places, new cultures, and new faces.

your dreams

Through your internships at Grace, you will meet countless new faces and form valuable career connections. You won’t just talk about career preparation in class, you will sharpen your skills and gain industry insights through applied learning experiences. Who knows, you might even spend your last semester working for a Fortune 500 company here in Warsaw, Indiana, the Orthopaedic Capital of the World. Not to mention, your network will grow exponentially from the day you step foot on campus. As a Grace alumnus, you will join a network of nearly 23,000 purpose-filled professionals across the U.S. and even the world.

You did it!

You finished college!

This moment will be the culmination of many late-night study sessions, countless hours in the lab, the sweet victory of holding a national championship, a deeper, fuller walk with Christ, and a multitude of friends that walked with you through it all.
